Elizabeth Farm - Rosehill
Address: 70 Alice Street
Rosehill, NSW 2142
Commenced in 1793, Elizabeth Farm contains the oldest surviving European building in Australia. Once home to Elizabeth and John Macarthur, pioneers of the Australian wool industry, it is a rare example of an early Australian colonial homestead.
It is also one of the most accessible house museums you will ever visit. There are no inhibiting room barriers, so you can wander freely through the house, draw up a chair to a table, read family letters and newspapers, relax on shady verandas or warm up before an open fire and imagine life in the early colony.
The Tea Rooms are situated in a re-created 1830s garden and are open from10am to 4pm for light meals and refreshments.
Opening times
Friday to Sunday 9.30am ? 4pm. Daily in January, NSW school holidays and public holidays. Closed Good Friday and Christmas Day
