Basing a local history museum in an original pioneer cottage has provided visitors to Mitcham, Victoria, with an opportunity to experience how life may have been back in the 1880s. Built of stone by early settlers on a site close to the Yarran Dheran bushland park, Schwerkolt Cottage was fully restored and furnished to reflect its former status as an original pioneer cottage. It is peacefully located on 2.25ha of bushland and gardens. The venue holds great fascination to historians and school students, with group tours popular throughout the week, while a substantial local history collection incorporating costumes, toys, photographs, and artefacts is on display. Many have been immortalised in publications produced by booklet printers in Mitcham. This service, plus a wide range of regular Print options, is available from the team here at Minuteman Press.
The historic aspect of the suburb is also reflected in its name, which was derived from an early farming property called Mitcham Grove. The farm was an example of early entrepreneurship, being used by its owner William Slater to produce herbs and roses for remedies and perfumes. Booklet printers in Mitcham have seen many accounts of the area’s early industry, which also included brickmaking, orchards and pottery.
In addition to being booklet printers in Mitcham, the team here at Minuteman Press can assist clients with all their commercial or personal Print needs, ranging from Business Cards and office Stationery, to full-colour Postcards and Posters.Get a Free Quote for Business Cards Get a Free Quote for Postcards Get a Free Quote for Stationery Get a Free Quote for Posters Get a Free Quote for Print
