Immerse yourself in a delightful journey through time at this hidden gem nestled in the heart of Forrest, where you can experience life as the Clark family did in the 1950s. Imagine sitting at Professor Manning Clark's very desk, where he meticulously crafted the six volumes of "A History of Australia."
Join us for a personalised tour of this heritage-listed house, designed by the renowned modernist architect Robin Boyd in 1952. Walk through Manning Clark's rooftop study, the birthplace of his famous historical works. We also offer group tours during the annual Canberra and District Heritage Festival in March-April and by appointment, giving you a unique chance to delve into mid-century Australian architecture and design.
The House is generally open on Saturdays from 11:00 AM to 2:00 PM by appointment. We kindly request donations from $10 per person to support this service. If you would like to schedule an individual or small group tour outside these times, please contact us to make an appointment.
