Operational between 1828 and 1856, the factory is now one of the 11 sites that collectively comprise the Australian Convict Sites, listed on the World Heritage List by UNESCO.Collectively the Australian Convict Sites represent an exceptional example of the forced migration of convicts and an extraordinary example of global developments associated with punishment and reform.

Now operational as a museum and tourist attraction, the site is managed by the Port Arthur Historic Site Management Authority. .... Learn more at Wikipedia
