  The Hiscock House
The Hiscock House Stroll through the streets of Trinity where time has stood still.

Learn how feisty Emma Hiscock didn't let widowhood stand in her way when she needed to support her family. Look back to a time when the kitchen was the heart of the home and "the devil made work for idle hands." 

In this house, which remained in the same family until it was restored during the 1980s, you can now see how people lived back in 1910.

Facilities and Services:

  • Guided tours are available
  • You'll probably see someone in period clothing doing period activities.
  • Other heritage facilities and dramatic presentations available in the community.
  • There's a gift shop at the Hiscock House.
  • Motorcoach parking available near site.

  • Located close to the locally operated Lester Garland House, Green Family Forge and Trinity Museum.
