Ranches in the Windermere Valley
Ranching and farming have been central to valley life since before settlement began. Compiled in 2013, this booklet provides a general overview of the ranching tradition, as well as the influence of settlement companies in promoting fruit farming in the area in the years immediately before the First World War. A brief summary of individual ranches/properties is also included, illustrated by assorted photos from the Museum collection.
Mines in the Windermere Valley
A brief overview of over twenty historic mining properties in the mountains around the valley including location, minerals extracted, and parties/key developments. Compiled in 2013, this list is far from complete, but provides a good introduction.
The Windermere Cemetery
Perfect for genealogists or those tracing family history in the valley, this report provides a brief history of the Windermere Cemetery, some FAQs regarding researching people in the valley, and a variety of plot maps of the cemetery itself. Its main contribution, however, is a detailed (and indexed) list of those buried there.
