Members Hour: Elizabeth Farm
Welcome to Members Hour at Elizabeth Farm
Elizabeth Farm, on Dharug Country, is Australia’s oldest surviving homestead. It was built in 1793 for wool pioneers John and Elizabeth Macarthur, and was extended and refined into a fine colonial bungalow over the next three decades.
Today Elizabeth Farm is an ‘access all areas’ museum, with no barriers, locked doors or delicate furnishings. Set within a re-created 1830s garden, it is now our most immersive house museum, and Members Hour is your chance to have it all to yourself.
Be treated to a special tour of the property, led by our expert museum staff.
Pack a picnic to enjoy in the gardens, and be sure to visit the powerful artwork Healing land, remembering Country located in the grounds.
Bookings essential; registrations open soon.
