About Brickendon
Welcome to Brickendon, a truly remarkable institution located in Longford, Wellington Street, Australia. As one of Tasmania's oldest farming properties, Brickendon offers a rich tapestry of early Tasmanian history that is sure to captivate visitors from near and far.
Immerse yourself in the incredible story of the Archer family, assigned convicts, free workers, and the beginnings of Australia's pastoral and agricultural industry. Explore our 1820s Farm Village, complete with a chapel, blacksmith's shop, cookhouse, and amazing timber barns. Step back in time as you wander through our quaint historic cottages, some of which were built by convicts, or experience the rustic charm of our recycled farm cottages.
Brickendon is not only a fascinating place to visit, but it also offers a range of services and programs. If you're looking for a venue to hold your business or private function, look no further. We also offer group tours of our Convict Farm Village and Heritage Gardens, providing a unique educational experience for all ages. Our schools program is designed to engage students in the history and heritage of the region.
In July 2010, Brickendon Estate, along with its neighboring property, Woolmers Estate, was listed jointly as a World Heritage Site, being part of the Australian Convict Sites World Heritage Property. These two estates are regarded as the most significant rural estates in Australia, with a rich history spanning from early European settlement to the present day.
When you visit Brickendon, you'll be greeted by a stunning rural landscape, magnificent Heritage Gardens, and an amazing collection of convict constructed buildings. Our visitors and cottage guests have the opportunity to explore family history and memorabilia, providing a truly immersive experience.
Whether you have a connection to the early history of Australia through a convict ancestor, farm worker, tradesman, or free settler, Brickendon, along with Woolmers, offers you an extraordinary opportunity to discover and connect with your past.
We are open from October to May, Tuesday to Sunday, from 9.30am to 5pm (last entry at 4.15pm). From June to September, our opening hours are Tuesday to Sunday, from 10am to 4pm (last entry at 3.15pm).
As we invite you to explore the wonders of Brickendon, we would like to acknowledge the traditional custodians of this land, the Tasmanian Aboriginal community. They have cultivated and cared for Country in this region for thousands of generations, and we honor their enduring connection to culture, language, and country. We pay our respects to Elders past and present.
Come and experience the captivating history, stunning landscapes, and rich cultural heritage that Brickendon has to offer. We look forward to welcoming you.

Reviews of Brickendon
"We love the Pumpkin Cottage and enjoyed our walks around the site. Very comfortable bed, and good service. A good place to have a relaxing weekend."
"World heritage listed convict site, many of the old buildings and farm equipment still there to see and photograph. I was only there for a day visit. The accommodation cottages look comfortable from the outside."
"Very interesting self guided tour. Many original buildings still standing. Worth the visit"
"Beautiful little historic cottage, perfect place for relaxation. We felt like we had gone back in time. Perfect set up for us and our 2 well behaved English Bulldogs. Cosy, private, well prepared breakfast provisions and fully self contained for preparing dinner. Definitely will return to spend longer, one night definitely not long enough."
