Cullybackey and District historical society was set up in February 2012 with the aim to gather, preserve and share the history of the village of Cullybackey and it's surrounded townlands

We meet monthly and look at a variety of different topics and aspects of the history of the area - as well as enjoying some craic and drinking some tea.

💍 Lost Property – Ring Found

A ring was found during our meeting at the British Legion Hall last night.

We’re not sure whether it belongs to one of our members/visitors, or perhaps someone else who uses the hall, but we’d really love to reunite it with its rightful owner.

We know that losing something like this can be upsetting, so we’re keen to get it safely back to whoever it belongs to.

We have photographs of the ring, but we’re deliberately not sharing them publicly so that the rightful owner can identify it.

If you think the ring might be yours, or the property of a loved one who is not on Facebook, then please message us at [email protected] describing it, and we’ll be happy to help reunite you with it.

Please feel free to share this post in case it reaches the person who has lost it. Thank you! ❤️

As we gear up for the first meeting of the new season, it’s time to renew your membership.

The British Legion Hall will be open on tomorrow from 10:30am to 12 noon

We’d really encourage it if you to come along and pay your membership if you can as it helps ease the usual first night back chaos.

Thanks for helping us start the season smoothly!

Just a quick reminder that Elizabeth and Beth will be at the British Legion hall tomorrow morning collecting membership fees for the year.

We are also collecting books and jigsaws again so if you have any you would like to donate they can be dropped off too.

We were deeply saddened to learn of the recent passing of Betty Loughlin.

A valued member of the Cullybackey & District Historical Society for many years, Betty will be fondly remembered for the warmth and humour she brought to our meetings.

We extend our sincere condolences to her family and friends at this difficult time.

Cullybackey & District Historical Society is pleased to share details of a forthcoming series of talks being delivered by our President, Dr William Roulston, as part of Cullybackey Community Partnership’s USA250 project.

The three talks will take place on 1st, 8th and 22nd June at 7.05pm on the top floor of the Maine Business Centre. The venue will open from 6.45pm for anyone wishing to view the accompanying exhibition, and a booklet produced for the project will also be available.

This series explores the stories of people from our area who left these shores in the 1700s and went on to play a part in the events leading to American Independence. All are welcome to attend.

Members of Cullybackey & District Historical Sociey were pleased to attend a special event today at Arthur Cottage, the ancestral home of U.S. President Chester Alan Arthur, to mark the 250th anniversary of American Independence.

A commemorative tree was planted by Paul Roelle, representing the U.S. Consulate, together with Mayor Alderman Jackson Minford and pupils from Buick Memorial Primary School. It was a lovely occasion highlighting the longstanding connection between this district and the United States.
