Elizabeth Farm |
Budjari Naami Darug Nurawa. Good to see you on Darug Country.
A restful homestead with a restless history. Darug dispossession. Convict rebellion. The toppling of governors. Family turmoil. Built in 1793 for the young military couple John and Elizabeth Macarthur and their growing family, Elizabeth Farm today is an 'access all areas' museum. There are no barriers, locked doors or delicate furnishings. Set within a re-created 1830s garden, Australia's oldest homestead is now our most immersive house museum.
Our museums and places are on Aboriginal land. As we walk together and tread gently on this Country we acknowledge the Burramuttagal of the Darug nation, the traditional custodians, and pay respect to the Elders, past and present, and to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. Aboriginal people have a deep and continuing cultural attachment to this Country and are the rightful interpreters of their history and heritage.
We acknowledge the impact Elizabeth Farm has had on Aboriginal Country and that this impact continues to be felt today.
Was, is and always will be Aboriginal land.
