Connecting with others to capture as much of our local history as possible
The Rosewood History Group is a small and enthusiastic group of people who enjoy delving into the history of Rosewood and its environs and discovering more about the pioneer families whose industry and perseverance drove the development of the area and the establishment of this town. It is one of the Rosewood Community Centre’s Social Programs.
The group has been meeting since 9th July, 2020. Our intent is to promote awareness of our rich local history and create a repository of historical data that will be of interest to the local and wider community.
Our group members have broad and varied interests which encapsulate many facets of history including mining, military, family history, photography, house history, hospitals, hotels and businesses to name a few.
The group holds bimonthly Gatherings at 10.30 am on the third Thursday of the month at the Rosewood Library. (Check below for venue changes.)
