24.01.2022 Google tells me this donation we received at the museum is from the 1950s to 1960s or 1970s

23.01.2022 The Woodford Historical Society has been given some photo's from the 1994 Deb Ball. If your in a photo and you or a family member would like that photo please comment below that photo. Photos can be picked up from the museum on Fridays from 10am to 3pm

22.01.2022 Several Photos of Woodford Cheese Factory. These would have been taken between mid 1950s and mid 1960s. From my Dad James "Jim" Byrnes photos.

20.01.2022 Many of the photos of Woodford that the Queensland State Library, Trove NLA and others use are Fred Petersons photos. Fred was born in 1893 and died in 1971. Peterson Road is named after the family. Woodford Historical Society are proud and honoured to hold many of the originals of these photos that were generously donated to the museum by Freds Granddaughter Kathy Knight nee Britten. #woodfordmuseum

20.01.2022 "I got nine toes and I got 10 fingers!" We couldnt resist bringing back this story of legendary sawmiller Ralph Affleck from 2014. Youll be pleased to hear Ralph is still going strong at 90 and lives with his wife in Warwick.

13.01.2022 From time to time donations are made to the museum which sometimes includes items that are not relevant to our collection. With some of these items we would like to get them back to their owner or owners family. We have tried Google and Facebook with no luck. Two items we have at the moment belonged to RA Fairbrother. Maybe you can help us return them. Do you know this name? #woodfordmuseum

12.01.2022 This dolls house was donated to the museum recently. The previous owner had no one to pass it on to and didnt want to dump it, lucky us! My number 1 curator is having a bit too much fun setting it up today. Count down to reopening!
