Kiewa Valley Historical Society

The Kiewa Valley Historical Society aims to preserve and conserve the history and heritage that is unique to the Kiewa Valley and surrounding Bogong High Plains situated in North East Victoria. Through the use of permanent, and temporary exhibitions, information walls, a photo gallery, a diarama of the Bogong High Plains, a model hydro system, and two DVD screens we show the area's history and highlights, that tell our social history, natural science areas and technological developments.
