25.01.2022 "They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old; Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning We will remember them." Lest we forget. #AnzacDay2020 #lightupthedawn

23.01.2022 The book 'Flora of the Hunter Region - Endemic Trees and Larger Shrubs' describes 54 trees and shrubs with botanical illustrations, including 21 threatened trees and larger shrubs in the Hunter.

23.01.2022 This is your last chance to purchase tickets for High Street Dramas 2, today (Saturday) at 4:45pm and tomorrow (Sunday) at 4:45pm. You can book on Eventbrite or ring Holly on 4933 3330. Following on from the highly successful High Street Dramas in 2019, the Friends of Grossmann House invite the public to take a walk down the central area of High Street Maitland, over three late afternoons during the final weekend of March, to experience just some of the graphic stories of Mai...tland’s past. Walk with the players, as we stand in the places where sensational crimes, an historic riot, were played out, hearing first hand the details of a number of the stories which form the proud history of our place and its community. In collaboration with the Maitland Repertory Theatre, the Friends of Grossmann House, offer this stirring street theatre piece on the weekend of March 26/27/28 with a 4.45 start at the corner of High and Free Church Streets, Maitland, concluding at Brough House, 73 Church St, Maitland, for refreshments at 6.15pm. All proceeds go towards the ongoing maintenance of the National Trust properties Grossmann and Brough Houses, and to the Maitland Repertory Theatre. Please note, this event is not recommended for children as it includes some uneven street walking. See more

19.01.2022 The Friends of Grossmann House are hosting a Heritage Walk in the Maitland suburb of Bolwarra on Sunday April 18 commencing on site at 2.00pm meeting on the corner of Westbourne and Maitland Roads. Known as the 19th Century Gentleman’s Suburb, Bolwarra is one of Maitland’s most prestigious addresses. Our Heritage Walk will be guided by our inimitable guide, Wayne (Huck) Campbell, who has been enthusiastically leading the majority of our Heritage Walks for many years. Wayne ha...s an extensive knowledge of architectural history which he will bring to bear as we walk the leafy streets of Old Bolwarra. Following our walk an afternoon tea will be waiting for us at Brough House, a short drive back to 73 Church Street, Maitland. Please advise of special dietary requirements when booking. There will be some uneven street walking on unpaved surfaces. All proceeds from the walk go towards the ongoing maintenance of Brough and Grossmann Houses. $25.00 / $20.00 National Trust members. Bookings essential. Phone Holly 02 4933 3330.. Photo caption Bolwarra Barn. Photo Holly McNamee The Old Bolwarra Heritage Walk is a part of the National Trust Heritage Festival.

15.01.2022 Last year, Debbie van Heekeren disrupted Grossmann House with her art work. It was a wonderful exhibition which changed the way we viewed a 19th Century house. If you saw the exhibition you might want to buy the book. #mymaitland #makeitmaitland #supportlocalartists
