In 1996 an archaeological dig on what is now the site of the Glasshouse discovered a number of State significant archaeological remnants on site. The decision was taken that rather than lose this heritage beneath building foundations they be incorporated and showcased into the new cultural centre to be built on site.

The footings of the 1823 Convict Overseers cottages have been preserved for all to see on the lower ground floor of the Glasshouse as well as the display of many objects found during the excavation of the site. These give a very real insight into the beginnings of this colonial town nearly 200 years ago.
