The colonial mansion named after the nineteenth century state premier Sir Henry Ayers, Ayers House Museum illustrates Victorian domestic life as it was lived both upstairs and downstairs. The social history of the period is discussed on guided tours of the house as is the life and work of Sir Henry Ayers. On display is a collection of historic costume, silver, artwork and furniture as well as changing exhibitions.
