History Guide Booklets & Brochures
We currently have available copies of two booklets that maybe of interest, not only to locals, but also to visitors who would like to tour around the town and visit places of historical interest.
Please contact us, or visit our Museum to acquire these. (We aim to provide digital copies of these in the future)
A Walk Along Melville St: this brochure has brief descriptions and accompanying photos of many of the historic businesses/buildings (past and present) in the CBD area of Numurkah. Complementing the brochure, informative history signs have been placed on a number of buildings in the CBD area, outlining the businesses/buildings nearby.
BUTTER FACTORY: The current Graincorp site was once home to the Numurkah Butter Factory, founded in 1907. For 50 years, from 1918, the factory was owned and expanded by Holdenson & Nielson Fresh Food Pty Ltd. In later years, it operated under different names and business models (such as Petersville, Ibis, and Bonlac) before its closure in the mid-1970s. A portion of the 1930s art-deco façade is still visible at the front of the Graincorp factory. > > >
A Walk or Drive Around Numurkah: this booklet, which includes a tour map, has information and accompanying photos describing many of the historic sites around Numurkah. Some sites still have the original buildings to view, others have been replaced with more modern structures.
See our Photo Gallery page for some examples of existing buildings.
