Around the traps

Lovely to reunite a family member with some old treasures.

The Molong Historical Museum recently posted a photo (below) of a beautiful old violin handmade by George Neville of Copper Hill.

The museum curators were delighted when George’s great nephew came to the museum especially to find his Neville and Farrell family history.

He was thrilled to be reunited with his great-uncle George Neville’s handmade violin and the very old timber clock housed in the museum.

He was provided plenty of information from family records and was then able to locate headstones in the cemetery.

We are always so excited to share our knowledge and history with people and this “family history” tourism brings many visitors to our beautiful little town.

Interested in who you are? Head to the Molong Museum any Sunday and Thursday from 10am- 2pm (good idea to book in before so that our volunteers can start looking for your family history).
