Description

Once the home of the Langhorne family, Altona Homestead is now home to the Altona Laverton Historical Society. 

Altona Homestead was originally named Laverton Homestead when it was built in the mid-1840s by Alfred and Sarah Langhorne. It was the first homestead built on the foreshore of Port Phillip Bay. Located on Logan Reserve, close to Altona Beach, the homestead is a unique and treasured part of Altona’s heritage.

Restoration works commenced in 1988. Careful planning and funding provided by what was then Altona City Council ensured preservation of the homestead for the people of Altona and visitors to enjoy and learn about the past of Altona and the western suburbs.
