Summerhill Farm was originally allocated to the 1820 Settler Charles Crause and part of the original 1825 homestead has been restored and houses the Packshed Restaurant. In 1833, John Hawkins, who was a founder member of the Bathurst Agricultural Society, purchased the farm for 2,000 pounds. He was also one of the first farmers to plant pineapples.
