The Hills District Historical Society was formed in July 1967. Its first President was Councillor Fred Caterson and its first Secretary was Bob Martin. These two early pioneers of the Society had discussed the need for a local historical society and were the ones who launched the new Society. They were concerned about the loss of historic buildings and the need to preserve the built and written heritage of the local area.

The Museum houses a wonderful collection of artefacts displayed thematically, that tell the story of what early life was like for people living in the Hills District. The Museum’s resources include and extensive photographic collection, library books and facilities for research. A comprehensive collection of files on a range of topics covers people, places and events that are historically important to the Shire including pioneers of the district, cemetery records, historic buildings, early land grants, family histories, convict records, any information which is relevant to the district, and photographs.
