HISTORICAL INFORMATION
We are seeking your assistance to present a terrific display of family and
local history in the Nimmitabel Pioneers’ Memorial Hall for the Back to
Nimitybelle festival conjunction with the Centenary Nimmitabel Show over
the weekend of 31 January to 2 February 2003.
Many families have made a significant contribution to the district and I am
aware that an enormous amount of work has been done to document the history and
achievements.
If you would like to join us and display any family historical research
relevant to Nimmitabel, I would like to hear from you. Some assistance with
display may be available. The Nimmitabel Pioneers’ Memorial Hall will be set
up as a meeting place where
· the family and local historical materials will be on display
· at least one "Welcomer" will be on site all during
opening hours
· information on all Festival activities will be available
· a message board will be set up as a contact point for visitors
· continuous tea and coffee will be available, and
· chairs and tables will be arranged to encourage discussion and
relaxed browsing.
Other activities which complement our historical theme are:
· District development history display in Geldmacher House
· St Andrews Church open and displays at Convent and School
· Opening of Nimmitabel Police Station Museum
· Aviation of the Snowy Scheme display at the Nimmitabel Country
Club
· Possible launch of the Nimmitabel Heritage Trail and its
promotion/information materials
· Bus tours along the Heritage Trail for elderly and disabled, or
possibly paying customers
· Grand Parade to feature historical segments to strengthen
messages of past and present achievement
Please contact me at [email protected]
if you would like more information or to be involved with the Family and Local
History displays.
