The Merrigum Historical Society will be holding their 25th Annual Heritage Day on Sunday 2nd April from 10am to 3pm. This popular event features demonstrations of pioneering skills and crafts. The Merrigum Historical Society consists of a small committee that works hard to provide an excellent range of displays, complemented by collectables and other exhibits.
The emphasis is on operating rather than static displays on the farm front, visitors can watch hay-baling with a 1940s stationary baler, milk-separating, butter-churning and more.
On the household side, ladies will be showing the effort that went into the washing and ironing of clothes when using a washboard and stove-heated flat irons. Visitors may also see sewing carried out on a treadle machine. Vintage engines will be in action, wood-turning and hopefully some Damper can also be sampled.
A wide range of exhibits and collectables will be on display including acollection of Model Paddle Steamers. Homemade cakes, biscuits, slices, etc will be for purchase at the Museum’s General Store and a B.B.Q lunch is on offer and raffle.
Adults $10.00 Children $2.00
