Knox Historical Society Inc.
Established 1965
The historic Ambleside homestead in Olivebank Rd, Ferntree Gully, is the home of the Knox Historical Society, where we maintain a wonderful collection of documents, maps, family histories, photographs (including a large collection of local school photographs), artifacts and memorabilia reflecting the district's history and the history of Ambleside which was once a productive rural property.
Ambleside is open 10 a.m.-1 p.m. Thursday and Friday and 1 p.m.- 4 p.m. Sunday. CLOSED on Public Holidays.
The Knox Historical Society is grateful for the support of the City of Knox and its on-going commitment to the preservation of important local history.
Keep in Touch.
Do you have any information about these local women who served in WW2? PLEASE NOTE: Ambleside will be CLOSED on days of TOTAL FIRE BAN in the Central District.
We are also grateful for the support of the Ferntree Gully, Rowville & Scoresby Bendigo Community Banks, and their community grants which have helped to produce publications such as "Knox Reflections - A Pictorial History" thank you
