Former Schoolmaster's Residence

The Former Schoolmaster's Residence, constructed in 1817, is a two-storey sandstone building that once served as the teacher's residence for the adjacent Ebenezer Church's school. Today, it houses a shop operated by volunteers, offering visitors a selection of locally made jams, crafts, souvenirs, and books detailing the area's rich history. Inside, displays of old photographs and memorabilia provide insights into the church's fascinating past. The residence is open Wednesday to Sunday, except for Good Friday and a few days near Christmas. Casual visitors can enjoy Devonshire teas and purchase locally made jams, crafts, souvenirs, and family and church history books. Larger groups, such as coach groups, car clubs, or social groups, are encouraged to make bookings for teas or lunches. A talk on the fascinating history of Ebenezer Church is offered at no extra charge. Bookings can be made by ringing the Church Shop on (02) 4579 9350 or by emailing tedbrill@bigpond.com.
