John Sullivan Memorial

What a lovely place. John Sullivan is technically the father of modern Nilgiris. Go here to understand the stories of different tribal groups such as Irulas, Kotas, Badagas, Kurumbas and Todas. The Nawa ( Nilgiris Adivashi Welfare Association) has contributed a lot to this place. If you are in Kotagiri do visit this place. The staff are also very friendly and have immense local knowledge!

This place has been preserved very well and is one good place you must go to in kothagiri.it is Jon Sullivan's house which has been preserved. We can get to know the history of kothagiri in this place.

The history if Nilagirs

John Sullivan Memorial shows the life of John Sullivan,and the timeline of development of Ooty and its surrounding areas. It is a very small monument, but has rich information about the history of Nilgiris.
Situated few kilometers away from Kotagiri hill station of Tamilnadu.
Worth visit.. recomended

Very good initiative to restore the first building of the modern Nigiris. Staff was very friendly and politely explained the history. they have books and research materials of tribal community for sale.
Downside is the amount of artifacts in the museum, it's very few and mostly the pictures.

Nice photos of old Ooty.

One of the Must visit places of Kotagiri

Nice old renovated place , a good place to know the history of Nilgiris and how people invaded the beautiful mountains. This place also sells hand knitted wool accessories made by tribal association.

A very important and interesting place to know about the history of the hill's
