Susannah Place Museum

The Rocks was one of the very first places the British colonised when the First Fleet sailed into Sydney Cove to establish a penal colony in 1788, and this museum offers an insight into what the nascent city was like in those early days. Susannah Place — four humble terraces built by Irish immigrants in the 1840s — have survived redevelopment over the last two centuries, providing a glimpse into everyday life during convict times.
