23.01.2022 Just another one of the treasures held at your Langi Morgala Museum.

23.01.2022 Just to let everyone know that the volunteer crew of Langi Morgala Museum will be taking a break over the Christmas/New Year week and so will be closed from Sunday 23rd and reopening Wednesday January 2nd. We wish everyone a very happy Christmas and a wonderful 2019.

23.01.2022 - DOROTHY (Dot) KONIG - Nee MOORFOOT The Ararat & District Historical Society mourns the passing of Dot Konig, longest serving Secretary, Life Member and pillar of the Society for the greater part of its existence. Dot's dedication, enthusiasm and depth of knowledge of Ararat and its history will be impossible to replace. Her work at the Langi Morgala Museum stands as only one part of her contribution to the community of Ararat.... She will be greatly missed. Condolences to family and friends.
