Swiss Italian Festa- History of Yandoit’s Stone Houses Bus Tour
When: Saturday October 26th, 2.30 – 4.30pm
Where: Gather at Yandoit Cultural– the old church in the bush, Uniting Church Rd, off High St, Yandoit
Yandoit is renowned for its stone houses, built by the Swiss-Italians who settled in the region from the 1850’s onwards.
This special event, as part of the Swiss-Italian Festa, will visit half a dozen of these iconic buildings. Local historians will share some of the stories associated with these buildings, the families who gathered local stone to construct and live in them, and give insights into the livelihoods of those new settlers.
Transport to the stone houses will be via mini buses and, at the end, we will re-gather at Yandoit Cultural for more sharing of stories and history, as well as afternoon tea.
