Who We Are

The Upper Murray Historical Society was formed in 1963 and opened The Man from Snowy River Museum concurrently. The Historical Society volunteers run the Museum, protect donated objects and continue to develop our understanding of the history of the Upper Murray. Along with the interesting and rewarding experience of working at the Man from Snowy River Museum, volunteers also receive:

  • Free museum membership whilst a rostered volunteer.

  • Access to the Research Centre located in the Museum.

  • Tea & coffee facilities

  • Social Activities

Please contact us if you would like to become a Volunteer, via email or in person.
To donate objects of local significance, read the guidelines before contacting in person or email.
