Innisfail and District Historical Society Museum has received a facelift

IF you did not know Innisfail had a local history museum or needed help finding it, now you cannot miss it.

end of town in the Canecutter Court, has undergone a significant facelift, with signage added to its fascia to ensure everyone can locate it.

A Cassowary Coast Regional Council Economic Development Community Grant funded this new signage.

“We are extremely grateful to the Council for their on-going support. Our signage is long overdue, and Council has provided us this fantastic opportunity to increase our profile in the community for locals and visitors alike,” said Trish Ernst, Innisfail Historical Society’s President.

The Historical Society expects an increase in visitor numbers during their Tropical Art Deco Festival held from September 13 - 17.

“We’ll be extending our operating hours during the festival, so the new signage has been very timely, and we’re delighted with the design and installation by local signwriter, Bernie Morrison from Geraldton Grafx,” Ms Ernst said.

School groups are also welcome, with guided tours available on Fridays and Saturdays. Entry is free, with donations welcomed.

Some of the museum’s displays can be previewed via the website www.innisfailhistory.com.au, as well as museum opening hours, whilst further information is available on the Innisfail and District Historical Society Facebook page.

New volunteers are always welcomed at the museum.
