Mansfield Historical Society aims to preserve and promote the history of Mansfield and surrounding districts.

Located at the old Mansfield Railway Station building in High Street, its committee of volunteers work together to present the current – ‘known history of the region’ so together we can, conserve, share, explore, remember & learn about the many valuable stories of its past.

Its considerable archives & databases contain a wealth of information about the history of Mansfield and the surrounding district including genealogical information, microfiche documents, photos, memorabilia, maps and an extensive clothing collection. The Society has many books and photographs of the local area that are also available for purchase.

Open Friday, Saturday, Sunday and most Public Holidays 10:00 am to 3:00 pm & Other times by appointment.

The Society’s database allows them to quickly find any name or event mentioned in the Mansfield Courier prior to 1960. Using this system and their other records, their research team can track down information for you about early Mansfield. A small research fee is charged to cover costs.
