Rising Sun Inn, Heritage inn in New South Wales, Australia.

The Rising Sun Inn is a single-storey vernacular cottage of vertical ironbark slab walls under a doubled gabled iron roof, with a verandah on timber posts to the front and sides. Its two-room eastern addition was later extended with a passage, and the kitchen, once a separate building, is now joined to the main structure and holds a large brick double fireplace. The original northwest section keeps its slab walls and half-round log bearer.

The building was constructed in the early colonial period as a necessary stop for travelers moving through the region. Its preservation today documents an important chapter in early Australian infrastructure and hospitality services.

The name comes from the inn's original sign, and the building later served as general store and post office after Charles Beany bought it around 1866. It is now a museum, craft shop and art gallery run from the old slab cottage, so the interior a visitor walks through is the former inn rooms themselves.

The building is no longer an inn: it now houses a museum, craft shop and art gallery, so there are no guest rooms or meals. It stands at 95–97 Wollombi Road, Millfield, on the rise above Wollombi Brook, and was still being restored when heritage-listed in 1999. Check locally for opening times before travelling.

The inn's first licensee, John McDougall, had been an overseer on the Great Northern Road, known for flogging convicts. In December 1840, while visiting publican Thomas Pendergast here, both were held up by Edward "Jew Boy" Davis's gang; Pendergast lost 13 pounds and McDougall received a dozen strokes of a bullock whip in revenge.
