The stone dwelling, now known as Blundells Cottage, was built in 1860 to house a local land owners head ploughman, William Ginn, and his family (1860-1874). It was then occupied by George Blundell, a local bullock driver and his family (1874-1933) and finally by shepherd Harry Oldfield and his wife Alice (1933-1958). After Harry's death in 1942, his wife Alice took in boarders. This included one of the last occupants, the Sainsbury family, who lived at the cottage between 1958 and 1960. After all it's occupants had moved out and following its restoration, the Cottage was handed over to the Canberra and District Heritage Society in 1964, which managed it and established a museum collection. Since 1999 it has been managed by the National Capital Authority (NCA) as a house museum. It is the only pre-Federal Capital building in Canberra's National Triangle. The Cottage is open each Saturday from 10 am - 2 pm (Excluding Christmas Day and Boxing Day)
