Administered by the Bruny
Island Historical Society.
Visit our history room in the
old Court House next door to the Police Station at
Alonnah.
Since the Bruny History
Collection was established during the Bicentennial year
of 1998, local history research has been ongoing with
most information coming from the monthly Historical
Society field excursions and discussion groups.
The History room has been
established primarily for the benefit of the past and
present community to provide a central point to meet,
bring friends and relatives to look at 'grass roots' of
family, or in the case of new arrivals, the location
they now occupy. The secondary purpose is to
provide visitors with an ideal venue to access the many
facts of Bruny Island history as it comes to life again
through the many displays available.
This is very much a
working History room. Subjects will come on line
and cross-referenced as time permits by a group of
dedicated and enthusiastic people, so there will always
be something new to see and read on your next visit.
