Grannie Rhodes' Cottage; "Turn The Key Of Time
Grannie Rhodes’ Cottage offers a guided museum tour and live performance at Richmond, southeast Tasmania. Richmond is a 35-minute drive northeast of Hobart (26 kilometres).
The restored, early-1800s cottage includes a colonial museum and features ‘Turn the Key of Time’ - a 50-minute performance of the history of the cottage and its original occupant, Grannie Rhodes. Owner and actor Miriam Cooper takes on Grannie’s identity in the interpretive performance, which reveals the life of this remarkable woman.
Grannie Rhodes’ Cottage is the only remaining dwelling Richmond without electricity or water. You can discover what life was like for early colonial and convict settlers in Tasmania as you experience the retelling of Grannie’s true stories. Be transported back to Old England in 1824; hear of the tribulations of Grannie’s parents, her two marriages – first to a convict, and then a freeman - and discover how Grannie lived in this tiny cottage, raising her eleven grandchildren.
You can experience Grannie Rhodes’s performance at regular viewing times throughout the year, or by prior arrangement. Bookings are recommended.
Grannie Rhodes’ Cottage – ‘Turn the Key of Time’ received a high commendation in the Cultural Heritage section of the 2006 Tasmanian Tourism Awards.
