The Willows Historical Park

The Willows Historical Park accommodates Melton’s oldest homestead, built in the 1850’s.  The National Trust listed the Willows in 1975. The Willows has since been gradually restored and two other local historic cottages have been re-erected at the site (Dunvegan & Mac's Cottage). Dunvegan Cottage, a quaint bluestone street cottage was once used as the local police station, it was relocated to the Park in 1977.

Today the Park offers visitors picnic and BBQ facilities, a heritage walking trail and a historic museum.
