Preserving Our Community’s Stories and Memories

The Coach House welcomes visitors every Monday from 10:00 am to 1:00 pm.
We invite you to drop in with any questions, photographs, documents, or information about past residents, families, and historic buildings. Your knowledge and memories play an important role in preserving our local heritage.
No appointment is necessary — everyone is welcome.
Digital Archiving with eHive
Our collection is digitally catalogued using eHive, a professional online archiving system used by museums and historical societies across Australia.
This allows our photographs, records, and documents to be safely stored and easily searched by researchers, students, and community members.
