Historic home reopens doors to visitors FRANKSTON’S oldest house has reopened after undergoing maintenance works. The Ballam Park Homestead, which was built in 1855, is now the home of a museum. The home received $250,000 in maintenance works, funded by Frankston Council, after an electrical fault. Frankston Historical Society President Glenda Viner said that she was excited to see the doors to the historic homestead
reopen. “The homestead has remained practically unchanged in appearance since it was first constructed using bricks made on site. It has long been a favourite with residents and visitors thanks to its historic charm and museum, cafe and resource centre,” she said. “The recently completed works included painting, rewiring, a CCTV camera system, new external LED lighting around all buildings, replacement of rotting timber, restumping and more. The works are absolutely
wonderful and have transformed our historical jewel in the crown.” The Ballam Park Homestead can be found at 280R Cranbourne Rd, Frankston.
