It is 128 years
since John McKay established the commercial business
“THE STORE”
in Pyramid Hill

John's descendants make a sentimental journey to Pyramid Hill

We have recently launched "Portrait of Pyramid Hill & District 1890-1909" which is a selection of items extracted from the Pyramid Hill Advertiser, the local weekly paper first published in 1889.
Who were the movers and shakers of their day?
Their names are found within these pages, the true pioneers whom we honour with this publication.

Our books make a great gift. Check out all our publications here.

RESEARCH RESOURCES
We recently purchased The Pyramid Hill Advertiser on searchable
CD's, covering the years 1890-1971. This was made possible by a grant from Arts Victoria and the Public Records Office.
This, and all our valuable resources are available for individual research at the museum, or we can send you the information.
A fee of $20.00 applies. Please send your cheque to the Historical Society, PO Box 83, Pyramid Hill, 3575.

The Pyramid Hill Historical Society was formed in 1965 and since then has undertaken the enormous task of collecting, documenting and cataloguing over 6800 historically significant items.

The main building was opened in 1970 by Sir Rohan Delacombe. The local granite foundation stone, donated by Athol Kelly, was unveiled by
Mr Gordon McKay MM.

The main building houses household memorabilia and photographs, some family histories and records which are available for research. The annexe has displays of demi-johns and bottles, buckles, farm tools, and electrical equipment.

The relocated RSL hall houses war memorabilia including photographs and Honour Boards from Pyramid Hill and surrounding districts.

Today's news is tomorrow's history and our volunteers are committed to the preservation of the collections and encourages both local folk and visitors to catch a glimpse of the early life of Pyramid Hill and district.

Loddon Discovery Tours representatives regularly bring their tourist buses to our museum for a browse and morning tea or lunch, with many visitors returning for a second or third time.

We have been awarded Best Museum in the Loddon Shire on several occasions.

OPENING TIMES:
The museum is open to the public on Tuesdays from 10am to 3pm and on the first Sunday of each month from 2pm to 4pm, all other times
are by appointment.
