This exhibition explores notions of home and domestic life in the Georges River area from the 1920s to the 1960s. How were homes designed, built, and made in the local area during these decades? What made a house a ‘home’? Furnishings, equipment, tools, gardens, recreation, hobbies? What were the lives of women, men and children like during these decades?

Showcasing Hurstville Museum & Gallery’s extensive collection, the exhibition highlights the social, cultural and family lives of residents in the St George region during the first half of the 20th century.
