ABOUT US



Stawell Historical Society is run and staffed by a dedicated group of volunteers who over the years have amassed a large knowledge of Stawell and surrounding districts.
We are more than happy to help you in your enquiries.

Stawell Historical Society moved into the new research centre early 2016, named after Mr Stewart Bradley who is a benefactor of our society.
The old Pleasant Creek Court House, which was built in 1860, is now a Museum where we show the history of Stawell and District
