KEEPING TIME. Preserving and documenting local history since 1989
Because
History
Matters
MHHS aims to preserve, document, acquire and interpret the history of the Eastern Hills near Perth, Western Australia. MHHS assists individual researchers, schools and other groups to compile local history. The Society has a large Archive of information relating to the history of the Shire of Mundaring. The Mundaring District Museum, opened in 1997, houses a permanent display about people, places and events of historical interest to the Shire.
What we do and why we matter : our projects and resources
'RETURN TO SENDER'
This new exhibition is now open in the Museum.
Our new exhibition is titled ‘Return to Sender’ and opened on Friday 12 July 2024. It explores the history of the post offices across the Shire of Mundaring. Post Offices have played an important role in the social and economic development of our localities and continue to do so today. Methods of communication such as the handwritten letter, telegrams and later telephone, were vital in the early development of communities. Hence, the establishment of a post office was a priority.
Gold Coin Donation Appreciated.
