Dedicated to Historical Discovery and Preservation
The Mount Dandenong & District Historical Society
Founded and run by passionate locals, the society works to gather, preserve, and share the unique history of Mount Dandenong. We primarily focus on the districts of Kalorama, Mount Dandenong, Olinda, Sassafras, Ferny Creek, and Tremont.
The society always welcomes new members with an interest in local history and meets each month at Farndon’s Hall. Join us in celebrating and respecting our past.
