About The Society
The Kalamunda and Districts Historical
Society was formed in 1969 to promote interest in the local history of the Shire
of Kalamunda.
The Society holds monthly meetings, activities and visits throughout the year
for its members.
A bimonthly bulletin is published
to keep members informed of the latest news of the museums, members and interesting
stories of Kalamunda's history. Other publications on the history of Kalamunda
are also published by the Society.
The Society also manages Kalamunda History Village
and Stirk Cottage on behalf of the Shire of Kalamunda.
Kalamunda History Village is the largest folk museum in Western Australia. A
dedicated group of volunteers ensure that the buildings, grounds and artefacts
in the museums are maintained and are available for enjoyment by visitors.
