Mareeba Historical Society

The Mareeba Historical Society has begun a celebration of strong women through the generations with a series of photographic displays for the month of May.  The new displays showcase local women through the photos as well as personal belongings that have been handed down.  On some of the displays are five to six generations of local families.  Society Secretary, Helen Kindt stated that the Mother's Day display had morphed into a 'Month of the Women' and the display will run until the end of the month.  The Society has their Centre open every Tuesday and Wednesday from 8am to 4pm for anyone who wish to view the displays.
