Built in Yorkshire, England, in 1755 by the parents of Captain James Cook, Cooks' Cottage was transported to Melbourne in crates and barrels, re-assembled and officially opened in the Fitzroy Gardens in 1934.

Combining modern interpretations of Captain Cook's life and adventures with centuries old relics and a vibrant, colourful cottage garden, Cooks' Cottage provides unique insight into English family life in the 18th century.
