Memory Bank - Newsletter of Millthorpe Historical Society
The President Writes
On Saturday, the 20th November
1965 the official opening of the
museum was carried out by Mr
Charles Cutler then Deputy Premier
of New South Wales. The plaque
celebrating the opening is still
mounted just inside our front door.
From Millthorpe’s decline to its resurgence our museum has remained the town’s flagship.
The visitors and residents of our town and district are proud of our museum. This is due to our supporters and their continuing protection of our heritage.
