Richmond River Historical Society is now operating out of rooms at the Goonellabah Community Centre, 27 Oliver Avenue, Goonellabah.
(The Goonellabah Library is also located in this building)
Since the catastrophic floods of 2022 Lismore has been without a museum. Our collection and archives are safely housed in Goonellabah. It will be some time before our collection will be able to be displayed for access by public.
We are open for research on Monday and Tuesday mornings from 9:30am – 12:00 noon. Other times by appointment only.
Please contact us for enquiries.
