Beechworth History + Heritage Society and its supporters are passionate about Beechworth's cultural, built and natural heritage. We see heritage tourism as a community mainstay.
Described as Australia's best preserved gold town, we're working to build greater recognition of Beechworth's colonial-era gold rush heart, and the contribution to our society, economy and democracy by thousands who sought and found gold here.
Our society's heritage-passionate supporters include business owners, retailers, professionals, volunteers and history buffs. We gather information on current issues affecting our heritage.
and meet regularly to recognise/identify heritage issues, and to formalise and activate strategies relevant to the wellbeing of our town.
We address these issues with letters, meetings and social media.
Our history in Beechworth and Indigo Shire is unique, intact and sits on the world stage for authenticity of a Colonial Gold Rush Town.
We as custodians of this valuable heritage must look after it for future generations. Your support for our goals is highly valued and appreciated.
