Susannah Place Museum<br />
Concession entry for everyone (2pm-6pm)<br />
Visit.<br />
Located in the heart of The Rocks, Susannah Place is a rare surviving example of a simple working-class<br />
terrace. Built in 1844, by Irish immigrants and continuously occupied until 1990 this typically English terrace<br />
was home to over 100 different families. The museum tells the stories of the often overlooked lives of working<br />
class people and the neighbourhood in which they lived, played, worked and struggled.<br />

Rouse Hill House & Farm<br />
Concession entry for everyone (9.30am-4.30pm)<br />
Visit.<br />
Founded in 1813 and crammed with 20,000 objects spanning its long life, Rouse Hill House & Farm expresses<br />
the hopes and dreams of six generations of family life in rural New South Wales from early colonization to the<br />
late 1900s.<br />
An extraordinary amount of colonial history converged upon or passed hard by this place, with Rouse Hill<br />
House -itself one of the oldest continually occupied homes in Australia- overlooking the Hawkesbury road of<br />
1794, the Windsor turnpike road which replaced it, and the Vinegar Hill battlefield of 1804.<br />
Take a tour to experience the old house with its time-warped rooms, the ancient garden, handsome stables,<br />
and the tottering outbuildings, old machinery and rusting vehicles that strew the wider farmstead. Or come<br />
and enjoy one of Rouse Hill’s farm-based or other family-friendly programs.<br />
