Join us for a guided tour of J Ward, one of Australia’s most significant mental health heritage sites. Built in the late 1860’s, J Ward at the former Ararat Lunatic Asylum is a place of rich history and powerful stories. Your guide will share the experiences of those who lived, died and worked here, and explain how treatment and care have changed over time.
