HISTORY WEEK 2021

This year the Museum is joining in again for History Week and jumping on board with the History Council’s theme, “From the Ground Up”.

Everything has an origin story, and it is the people that make history possible.

For History Week we will be putting the spotlight on NSW’s earliest Firefighting efforts - the military fire brigade. It is almost 100 years since this "brigade" began operation.

Join in the fun throughout history week to learn more!
