Town Hall Museum
A significant part of Pingelly’s heritage story is the establishment of the newly revitalised Pingelly Museum and Historical Group. The committee was expanded and re‑energised in 2023 and has since made its home in the historic Pingelly Town Hall, located in the heart of the main street.
Through the dedicated efforts of its members, the museum proudly hosted the official reopening of the Town Hall on 23 September 2023, marking an important milestone for the community.
The Pingelly Museum and Historical Group is entirely volunteer‑run, supported by the passion and commitment of local residents, volunteer curators, and the Shire of Pingelly. Together, they continue to preserve and celebrate the stories, objects, and memories that shape Pingelly’s past and future.
The Town Hall now features a diverse range of historical displays that showcase the rich heritage of Pingelly. Current exhibits include:
Neil Gill’s Sulky and Buggy Collection
