Our Museum is Open

 

Our COVID-19 Safety plan has been lodged with Council and we are permitted to open to the public. All precautions are being taken to protect our members, volunteers and visitors. Regular rules of social distancing and regular cleaning are being monitored by our COVID Safety Officer.

With travel and other restrictions now is the time to support your local businesses. Why not support your local museum and learn more of the history and heritage of the City of Canada Bay LGA. Our volunteers are ready to answer any questions you may have about the area in which you live.

Our museum is regarded as one of the best volunteer-run museums in the state and we would like you to take time to visit and view our current displays – Armistice and Beyond, which takes in the 1919 Spanish Flu pandemic, and a tribute to the Walker family of Yaralla, who were among the greatest philanthropic families in Australia. We are proud of our museum and like to take any opportunity to show it off. Won’t you please come and visit?
