The
Pyramid Hill Historical Society was formed in 1965 and since then has undertaken the enormous
task of collecting, documenting and cataloguing over 6000 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.
