Children’s University is delighted to welcome National Trust South Australia as our newest Learning Destination partner in 2024.
The National Trust of South Australia preserve, manage, maintain and promote some of South Australia’s most historic sites, nature reserves, museums, folk history, collections, icons and heritage. And they do it all as a community-based, not-for-profit, non-government organisation. Thanks to the National Trust, current and future generations will be able to explore their past, immerse themselves in the present and imagine their future heritage.
There are over 60 museums and folk history collections under the National Trust SA. You can learn about people and places from Australia’s past, discover gardens or get closer to some of our most unique plants and animals in one of their 23 heritage nature reserves.
Tea Tree Gully Heritage Museum is one of many National Trust SA properties that offer events which are open to the public. Relive your favourite Seuss tales during their 4-day Dr Seuss is on the Loose event 18-21 July or experience Edgar’s Emporium c1910 from 16-19 May 2024. With twelve rooms, four display pavilions, a blacksmith, police cell, and laundry, the Museum has a whole lot to see like so many other National Trust properties. All you have to do is find them!
