About Bangalow Historical Society
The Bangalow Historical Society operates within the Bangalow Heritage House Museum, situated in the heart of the Bangalow village. The facility serves as a primary repository for the region’s cultural and social history, housing a vast collection of photographs, documents and memorabilia dating back to the late 19th century. Visitors can explore permanent displays that focus on the early cedar cutters, the dairy industry and the evolution of the local township within the Northern Rivers region.
Located a short drive from the Bangalow Showgrounds, the museum provides a dedicated space for historical research and community heritage preservation. The society maintains an active role in documenting the changing landscape of the area, offering resources for genealogical enquiries and academic study. Volunteers manage the archives and exhibition spaces, ensuring that the diverse history of the 2479 postcode remains accessible to both residents and tourists seeking an understanding of the town’s agricultural origins.
