Dimboola & District Historical Society

June 2021

The Dimboola and District Historical Society was established in 1967 and is housed in the Old Dimboola Courthouse, now located next to the Post Office in Lloyd Street. Meetings are held on the first Wednesday of each second month, with another activity taking place in each other month.

Our archives are vast and include records and information from sources such as the Council Rate books, every edition of the Dimboola Banner, Photographic collections and compiled writings.

The society aims to:
	collect, record and preserve items of historical interest pertaining to Dimboola and District.
	assist other concurring individuals and organisations in the preservation of the community's history.
	foster and encourage community interest and pride in their district's history.
