Mulgrave Shire Historical Society

The Mulgrave Shire Historical Society is inviting all local Seniors Groups to visit their Mulgrave Settlers Museum.  An entry fee of $6.00 per person will include a morning tea.  To book your group, contact the Publicity Officer Julie or phone the museum.  The Society has also put out an urgent call for more volunteers to help out at their museum in Gordonvale.  The volunteer positions would be suitable for people who like to share their knowledge and or learning about the area's rich history.  So, if you like meeting people and can spare four hours a fortnight, contact the Society about becoming one of the museum staff.  The central display in the museum is changed approximately every six months.  The current display includes the opening of this museum twenty-five years ago and the story of the local Silhouette Marching Girls.  The museum will be closed from the 19th to the 22rd June to enable the volunteers to get the next exhibition ready.  This new display will feature the Edmund Jarvis cases and other items to celebrate one hundred years of the Meringa Sugar Experiment Station.  The Jarvis cases were restored through a RADF grant.  The Society is also asking if anyone have any early Cane Grower's Quarterly Bulletins that could be donated to the Society or loaned to be copied.
