Old Hobart Town Model Village, Tasmania, Australia
4.0 (502 reviews) Spent Ranking #6 in Greater Hobart Speciality Museums
A Step Back In Time
An exceptional model village of what Hobart looked like in 1820, with all buildings, streets and people constructed to scale. It gives visitors a very unique look at what life was like for those who resided in Hobart at the time and how far Hobart has progressed since then. An absolute must see for any interested in the history of Hobart and indeed, Tasmania.

Somewhat hidden off the main Richmond attractions and relative hustle and bustle is this model village which purports to show Hobart as it was 200 years ago. The models are well kept and quite detailed. The bonsai trees give the illusion of a real village scene. The people who run it are full of great information and quite entertaining. There is a little puzzle to solve as well and lots of information signage to explain what the history of the buildings are and how this compares to today. The only slight gripe I would have is that for the length of the activity it is reasonably pricey, but I do understand that a lot of upkeep must be required.
