El Arish History Station Museum

The El Alish History Station Museum houses a collection of the town's documentary history in the original railway station which operates under the auspices of the El Arish Community Sports and Recreational Association.  The town of El Arish was originally established as a soldier settlement community after World War One and six of the streets were named for that war's Generals.  Monash, Chauvel, Royston, Ryrie, Wilson and Glasgow.  As a part of the First World War commemorations, the group received a grant which has enabled them to have constructed some street signs along with interpretive panels giving biographical information and lamp posts designed to commemorate these men.  The unveiling of the signs occurred with a public event held on Saturday 18 April.  Sadly, the group also reported that the museum building had been broken-in to on one evening in February but fortunately, besides some graffiti and the theft of the donation box, very little damage occurred much to the relief of the group's members.
