Unveiling History Clermont Historic Village Museum's Grand Debut

Last week in the region’s rustic inland town of Clermont, the community gathered for the grand opening of the Clermont Historic Village Museum, marking a celebration of heritage and camaraderie.
Mackay Isaac Tourism hosted its inaugural Meet & Mingle event of 2024, welcoming esteemed guests including Mayor Elect Kelly Vea Vea and Tourism Chair Jane Pickles. Against the backdrop of Clermont's rich history, attendees enjoyed engaging conversations and delightful treats from Lotta Latte's during an afternoon picnic.
However, the highlight of the day was undoubtedly the museum's new exhibitions: "Clermont Curiosities" and "Diary of a Landscape." These exhibits, featuring captivating artifacts and an innovative junk journal aesthetic, offered a glimpse into the essence of our lands and the narratives of those who traversed them.
For those yet to explore the wonders of the Clermont Historical Centre, a visit is highly recommended.
Clermont Historical Centre, Gregory Hwy, Clermont
