Torquay & District Historical Society

Suburbs or towns: Torquay and surrounding areas

The Society has two rooms for our work and a shared meeting room which we produce and display our photographic exhibition. We are open on Sundays 2 – 4 unless advertised on our Facebook page, web site or “Town by Town” in the Echo and “Whats on” in the Surf Coast Times.

Mission Statement:

To be the focal point for preserving the ongoing heritage of Torquay and the surrounding district. We will support this mission through

• public education programs, sharing and preserving stories from Torquay’s past;
• maintaining historical artefacts, collections and a district research centre;
• promoting the preservation of historic buildings and sites; and
• by partnering with local and regional institutions.
