About The Katanning Historical Society

The Katanning Historical Society was established in 1937 by a group of local residents who were passionate about preserving the history and heritage of the town of Katanning, located in the Great Southern region of Western Australia. Since its founding, the society has been dedicated to researching, documenting, and sharing the history of the town and its people.

Today, the Katanning Historical Society continues to play an important role in promoting awareness and appreciation of the town's rich history and culture. Through exhibits, events, and publications, the society offers a fascinating glimpse into the lives of the early settlers, the Noongar people, and other notable figures who have contributed to the town's development. The society also welcomes donations of historical items and relies on the support of volunteers to help preserve and promote the town's heritage.

Overall, the Katanning Historical Society is a vital organisation that helps to keep the history of this charming town alive for generations to come.
