💙 A Sad Farewell to Our Museum

Today is a very emotional day for the Appin Historical Society as we close the doors of our museum for the time being.

For the past three years, the Stone Cottage has been so much more than just a building. It has been a place where people have walked through the doors and discovered something about Appin’s past — perhaps a familiar face in an old photograph, a family connection, a story they had never heard before, or simply a little piece of our village’s history.

We have welcomed visitors from near and far, helped people with family history research, shared changing displays, listened to wonderful stories from local families and, most importantly, had the privilege of sharing Appin’s history with our community.

We are incredibly grateful to Walker Corporation who has supported us during our time at the Cottage. To those who visited, volunteered, donated items, shared photographs and memories, attended our events, promoted our museum or simply stopped by to say hello — thank you. You have helped make the Cottage a very special part of our journey.

It is particularly sad to close our doors knowing that we don't yet have a date for when they will open again.

But this is not goodbye.

The Appin Historical Society is not closing — only our museum doors are.

While we wait for our new premises to be built, our Society will continue its work of preserving, researching and sharing the history of Appin and its surrounding areas. We will continue to bring you stories, photographs and glimpses into our past through our social media and other community activities.

And one day, we will open our doors again.

When that day comes, we hope you will walk through them with us and help us begin the next chapter of the Appin Historical Society.

Until then, thank you for being part of our journey. ❤️

From all of us at the Appin Historical Society — thank you, Appin, for your wonderful support.

We look forward to welcoming you back to our museum in the future.

💙 A gentle reminder about our community shelf 💙

The historical society has placed a shelf outside our building with a simple message:

“Take what you need, give what you can.”

During these cold winter months, we have been leaving warm blankets, warm clothing and food items on the shelf for people in our community who may be doing it tough or simply need a little extra help.

We are so grateful that the vast majority of people have respected the spirit behind this initiative. Unfortunately, tonight the entire box of food was taken, including the box itself, leaving nothing behind for others who may also be struggling.

We completely understand that everyone has different circumstances, and we never want anyone to feel ashamed for needing help. ❤️ That is exactly why the shelf is there.

However, we kindly ask that people please take only what they genuinely need, so that there is enough to go around. If you are in a position to give, even one small item can make a difference to someone else.

This shelf is about community, kindness and looking out for one another. Please help us keep it that way.

If you need something, please take it. If you can give something, please do. And if you can, leave a little for the next person. ❤️

Thank you to everyone who has supported this initiative and helped us make a difference in our community.

👻 The Night of All Nights…

Taking visitors on a ghost walk through our little village is always an interesting experience. We often capture the occasional unexplained presence along the way… 👻

But recently, we had the night of all nights!

I have never seen so many orbs in our photographs — along with some other very strange activity and evidence captured during the tour.

Just take a look at this photo… 😳

I'm not quite sure what was happening that night, but it certainly seemed like party central for our spirit friends! 👻✨

Think you’re brave enough to join us?

Come along on our next Ghost & History Walking Tour and see what you might experience for yourself!
