Fortunately the building and collection at Eskbank House have not been damaged however the grounds have had a number of trees come down in the recent storm and access to the museum is limited.

The area is not currently considered safe due to the possibility of falling limbs.

Given the amount of damage that has occurred around the area it is unknown how long the clean up is expected to take but council staff are endeavouring to get Eskbank House open as soon as possible.

Council is extremely grateful of the patience and support the community have shown during this busy time and we look forward to many visitors once Eskbank House reopens.
