Tolga Historical Society

An invitation was received to attend the 20th anniversary celebrations of the small Tolga Historical Society. Some seventy members and local history buffs gathered at the Tolga museum on a clear spring morning to meet up and enjoy the little ceremony to acknowledge this modest milestone.  A brief history of the group was read out and Judith Snelling put together a small booklet for the day telling the story of the Society's development.  Mayor Rosa Lee Long and Society doyen, Lottie Hastis was invited to join in with the cutting of the birthday cake.  As a ex-member of this group, it was pleasing to see them still operating after so long when other small Societies in the district such as the Ravenshoe and Dimbulah groups died so quickly after they were formed.
