Success for Merimbula-Imlay Historical Society

After completing a challenging year long program assessing their practice against The National Standards for Australian Museums and Galleries, the hard working volunteer group of the MERIMBULA OLD SCHOOL MUSEUM have been rewarded a certificate that will see the Museum published in the state-wide publication of all the Museums.

The Old School Museum is an outstanding heritage asset and based on the advice and feedback of the Standards Program, the volunteer run museum is now developing a plan to work with school groups to raise awareness and bring history to the community.

Olwen Morris, a member of the Merimbula Old School management committee explained that the whole project has been well worth the effort and has provided strong impetus for volunteers to work towards the image of the Old School Museum making it a showpiece for our local community.

The Merimbula Old School Museum is located in a beautifully restored heritage listed stone building dating from 1873. The collection on display tell the stories of Merimbula and it's development.
