The Essence of Mudgee
Heart of Mudgees Country Store is set in the town's oldest surviving home c 1842 - 43.
The convict built sandstock brick house was commenced in 1842 and completed soon after by one of Mudgees founding fathers, William Blackman (1800 - 1854). The store is set in the original section.
Williams older brother, explorer James Blackman, was the first European to enter the Mudgee region in 1821.
The substantial brick house and its now long-gone row of cells in the garden were rented from 1874 - 1880 by nuns from the Order of the Sisters of Mercy, and it was here that they first established Mudgees convent
Items of note include sandstone flags and pit sawn lining boards on the Verandah.
Unusual English or Flemish Bond brickwork on the Northern wall.
