Ellis Cottage (Diamond Creek)

Ellis Cottage, erected 1865, is made of local uncut stone. The cottage is a typical farmers residence of the 1870's. The stone construction is unique in this district as most construction is weatherboard.

The Society houses a large collection of historic photographs and documents of pioneering families from Diamond Creek and its surrounds.
