The Lee Medlyn Home of Bottles Collection

The Lee Medlyn Home of Bottles Collection consists of over six thousand historical bottles and other related objects dating from 1500 AD to the present. This hugely significant holding includes glass and ceramic vessels created for the storage of beer, wine and spirits, aerated waters, preserves, and condiments, along with pharmaceuticals.

In 1868, Ernest Eberhard established a successful cordial and aerated water production facility in Clunes. Eberhard bottles can be viewed as part of the collection.

Housed in the old South Clunes State School (which was, for over 45 years, the Clunes Interknit Mill), The Lee Medlyn Home of Bottles Collection is a must see for all visiting history buffs.
