Grape Museum

Our last visit today was to the Museum which showcased the history of the Westend Horticulture. We watched a video on the history dating back to the ice age and how the area became a significant horticulture area.

The museum had many artifacts including tools, machines, pots, knives ect. They also had the old vines which were first grown in hot houses, the vines we saw today were still in glass houses.

They also had a replica of the old Dutch Auction System, which was really interesting to see after we saw the modern version this morning.
