🌿 A wonderful visit to the Residency Museum

We were delighted to welcome 11 members of the Anson Trefoil Guild (Girl Guides WA) to the museum on the weekend.
The group was spending the weekend in York, staying at Our Barn in Ford Street, a property owned by Girl Guides WA.
What a lovely group they were!
They were absolutely taken with the museum, expressing their admiration for our historic building and its fascinating exhibitions several times throughout their visit.

They also enjoyed exploring the museum gardens and taking in our Ballardong Six Seasons Garden Walk.
After their museum visit, the ladies were heading back to Our Barn for lunch before enjoying an afternoon of croquet at the York Croquet Club.
Thank you to the Anson Trefoil Guild for visiting and for your very kind comments.

It is always a pleasure to share York's history and heritage with visitors from near and far ❤️
Come and discover the Residency Museum for yourself!
