WELCOME

Welcome to the Sutherland Shire Historical Society . 
​Our museum, the only one in Sutherland Shire, is operated by Sutherland Shire Historical Society. We seek to display the heritage of the Shire in many different ways, from ancient Dharawal culture to relatively recent suburbanisation of Sutherland Shire. We are proud of our heritage and hope to share it with Shire residents and other interested parties.

We are respectful of traditions, culture and custodians, past and present.
Meetings are held at 1.30pm on the third Saturday of every month (except December and Easter) at the Stapleton Centre, 3A Stapleton St. Sutherland, with a  range of speakers on a wide range of topics. Visitors are most welcome .
