This photo was taken just after the Australasian Mine Disaster. It was enhanced from a very faded image and made clearer by a new member. Wouldn't it be wonderful if some of these men could be named by their families.

This February, the 26th to the 1st March from 9am until 3pm we will be celebrating the 150th anniversary of the Creswick Town Hall. The Official Opening will take place at 10.30am on the 26th. The Museum will be open each of these days and in the Main Hall the Historical Society will have a display of historic documents, artwork, etc relating to Creswick and District. The Creswick Garden Club will contribute with floral displays, local Neville Cartledge will have a display of Scouting and CFA memorabilia as well as Creswick china. The Creswick Brass Band will perform on Saturday afternoon. The Havilah Masonic Lodge in Albert Street will also be open during this period and is well worth a visit as it played a major role in the formation of Creswick in the 1800's and inside the building has unique artwork on the walls of the ceremonial chamber.
