Welcome to the Local History Centre for Marysville and District
Historical Society.
~Razed and Raised~
Our old premises were totally destroyed on Black Saturday - along with a lifestyle, an environment and many friends.
The journey back has been difficult to say the least, but
the generosity of people from all over Australia and the world has been extraordinary.
We wish to acknowledge the assistance of Mr Andrew Mackenzie who collected many
artefacts for us and Mr Janet Schultz who as facilitator has enables us to do
the alterations to the building bought from Mr Michael Darmody. We were able to buy the property because of the
generosity of an old friend Mrs Yvonne Knight who left the Society a bequest,
How grateful we are.
So now we can tell the story.
Our displays follow the patterns of the story which was told
in out former premises - Pioneers, Timber, Tourism and Marysville General -
e.g. Sport, School, Personalities etc, and the R.S.L. story.
Now - Add to this mix a beautiful Art Gallery - all donated,
and an incredible Photographic display in framers pictured and thousands of
photographs in albums, cameras, DVDs, CD's etc.
The Melbourne Meccano Club wanted to remember out wonderful
Manical Mechanicals shop - hence the super display which is now a permanent
addition to our story.
Kitchenalia, a dentists chair, a magnificent library, a
bottle collection - all great to see.
Part of the story of Marysville and District now included
the events of Black Saturday 2009. We remember those who died and celebrate the
renewal of life within our district.
We are here and the 'The story will still be told' - PART, PRESENT AND FUTURE.
We hope you enjoy the story - we all enjoy its telling.
Please visit the
Marysville and District Historical Society, just behind the General Store, near
the River. Everyone in Marysville knows were, just ask!
Tell them Heather sent
you
