The Allora and District Historical Society Inc. Was first formed in 1969 at the Centenary of Allora township being proclaimed a Municipality. The main object of the Society is to preserve the history of the township for later generations.
The Allora and District Historical Society meets in the old Shire Hall each third Wednesday of the month, at 7.30 p.m. And visitor's are made very welcome. We are desperately short of members, and invite anybody with an interest in the history of Allora and surrounds to join us. At the AGM on 16/7/2008, Colin Newport was re-elected as President, Anita Morrish as Vice President & Jean Newport as 2nd. Vice President. Ray Tippett became Hon.Secretary and Pat Lawson was returned as Hon.Treasurer. Fees are only $5.00 per year. You can actively participate in helping the ladies with street stalls and raffles, open the Drayton Street Museum on a Sunday once a month, attend the meetings and voice your opinions. Or finally just join and stay at home and do nothing. But you can still proudly say you are a member of the Society. Please join us as none of us are getting any younger and we need to preserve the past for our youngsters.
