Elizabeth Farm

Elizabeth Farm is a historic estate and museum that showcases the oldest surviving European building in Australia. The farm was commenced in 1793 and was once home to Elizabeth and John Macarthur, pioneers of the Australian wool industry. It is a rare example of an early Australian colonial homestead and is now open to the public as a museum. The museum features a hands-on and immersive experience, with no inhibiting room barriers, allowing visitors to wander freely through the house and explore the property. The farm also features a re-created 1830s garden and offers a glimpse into the lives of the Macarthur family and their convict servants, as well as the impact of colonization on the traditional owners of the Parramatta area
