Blundell's cottage was built for Duntroon’s chief ploughman, William Gin and his family. After the departure of the Gin family, the small abode became home to George Blundell, and later his wife and their children.
After Alice Oldfield left the cottage in 1958, the cottage was planned to be demolished. However Sir William Holford proposed that the cottage be kept as a museum. The NCDC renovated the cottage and it was managed as a museum by the Canberra and District Historic Society until 1990. The National Capital Authority now manages Blundell's Cottage as a museum open to the public.
Blundell's Cottage is significant, being one of the few stone buildings of its type to have survived intact in the Australian Capital Territory. It is important for the way it reflects a way of life on a nineteenth-century agricultural estate.
