WELCOME

Welcome to the Warragul and District Historical Society Inc. website.

The Society was formed in 1967 to preserve the history of Warragul and District, which include the areas of the former Shires of Warragul, Buln Buln and Naracan.  The Society’s museum is located in the Old Shire Hall at 72 Queen Street, Warragul.  Run by a group of dedicated volunteers, the museum has a large collection of objects, photographs, records and a library.  Entry is by donation.  The museum opens to the public on the 2nd and 4th Sunday of the month (February to November) from 2pm to 4pm, every Thursday from 10am to 2pm and also by appointment.  Closed during December and January. Phone 03 5604 7560 and leave a message, to arrange a suitable time.

Contact can be made by telephoning 03 5604 7560 and leave a message when the Museum is not open.
