Mont De Lancey Historic Homestead & Museum

Mont De Lancey is a Historic Homestead, located in the rolling hills of Wandin in the Yarra Valley. It was built by Henry Sebire, a stonemason, in the 1880's, with handmade bricks produced on site, and has been lovingly restored and furnished by the Wandin community.

The old Homestead, St Mary's Chapel and the surrounds, are maintained and managed by volunteers. A Working forge, Woodturners' workroom and Les Chesselles licensed restaurant are on the property. A Country Farmers' Market is held every second Saturday of the month (9-1pm, gold coin entry), and the property is also a magnificent venue for weddings, conferences, and special occasions. 

The Heritage Education Centre is a joint project with Wandin Yallock Primary School.  Groups of primary school children visit to learn our pioneering history in this unique, hands-on environment.  Teachers deliver a carefully structured programme, which meets current education guidelines.

In the Gallery/Museum, regular exhibitions /sales are held - $5pp entry fee includes a visit to the Museum, with free coffee & tea,
