Several generations of the Sebire family lived in the area until 1993 when it was donated to a non-profit trust run by volunteers. Today, the 80-acre estate, Mont De Lancey, has been converted into a heritage site and farmland.
Visitors may also take one of the tours to learn more about the homestead, gardens, and historic timber slab kitchen. It also houses a blacksmith shop, a vintage engine shed, and a museum displaying vintage clothes, tools, radios, old photos, kitchen appliances, and much more.
The event takes place from 10am to 4pm, with an entrance fee for adults is $15, while kids are free. The Draught Horse & Yesteryear Festival is held at the Mont De Lancey Historic Homestead, located just an hour’s drive from Melbourne within the Dandenong Ranges and the Yarra Valley.
