WELCOME TO THE DRYSDALE COURTHOUSE MUSEUM, HOME OF THE BELLARINE HISTORICAL SOCIETY

Founded in 1976, the Bellarine Historical Society  operates from the Court House Museum, 11 High Street, Drysdale, 3222. The Society aims to display and preserve artefacts that are pertinent to the Bellarine Peninsula. It also provides a reference resource for local history and family histories relevant to the Bellarine. We have a large collection of local history books for sale, written by our members. We undertake family history research on request.

CALL FOR VOLUNTEERS

An Appeal for Volunteers to support the Courthouse Museum in Drysdale.

Would you consider joining us in preserving our rich history?

Why we need your help.

Due to the shortage of volunteers, we are currently unable to open the museum to the public as frequently as we would like. This limits our ability to share the rich history of the Bellarine Peninsula with our community and visitors.

How you can make a difference

Can you spent 2 hrs from 10.30 -12 p on a Sunday to assist with Museum openings?

If you are interested in volunteering or would like more information please contact Ann on 0411 248 145 for more information.
