Formed in 1969 the Maclean District Historical Society has actively collected artifacts and researched the history relevant to this unique area. Much of the collection is on display either in the Stone Cottage or the Bicentennial Museum. Each of these buildings is an integral part of the Society, the Stone Cottage being the original building on the site dating back to 1889, whilst the Museum was constructed with Federal Government assistance in the form of a grant in the Bicentennial Year of 1988. Apart from managing this collection, their volunteers have been and are currently conducting research into the history of the original inhabitants and the early settlers, and the local history of this area.

Some 20,000 cards containing information on local families and organizations are regularly updated.  See more >> A to Z list of Family Surnames
