Winton – another step along the road

The hardworking volunteers of the Winton and District Historical Society will take another positive step forward on their road to recovery when they open parts of their museum to the public again tomorrow, September 1st.  While the main building at the Waltzing Matilda Centre was destroyed by the fire in June, other parts of the complex remained untouched.  These buildings hold a wealth of varied collections, including fossils and natural history, machinery, and social history.  So if you’re in the area, why not pay a visit to this fascinating collection and continue to support the museum in their recovery.  Congratulations Winton and District Historical Society on this major achievement!
