Here are a few suggestions of historical places to visit in Adelaide that you may not know about and would like to explore?
1) Charles Sturt Museum - Captain Charles Sturt’s home in South Australia
Built in 1840/41 for the Sturt family, the ‘Grange’ took central stage in a property of 390 acres in the Reed Beds of the Port River creek and the Torrens River. One of the earliest homes built in the district, it also had the distinction of being constructed of brick and was deemed by Sturt as the most English looking residence in the colony.
The Museum is open to the public on every first and third Sunday of the month 2-5pm at 39D Jetty Street, Grange.
