Grannie Rhodes’ is the only cottage (top left) in Richmond with no electricity or water in it. It has been restored to show the 1830’s – 1890’s. The dramatic presentation Turn the Key of Time uses the old cottage as the stage telling the story of one family’s struggle to join a convict father and their difficult life thereafter. The bark hut shows how the family would have lived when they first arrived.
