The
Caboolture Historical Village
is a village in the making and will be an ongoing project
for many years to come.
The Village began in 1979 when the Caboolture Shire Council
gave the 4 hectare site to the Historical Society. Since
then, the Council has continued it's support and interest
by helping to maintain the grounds and coming to the support
of the Society when requested.
Most
of the Buildings in the village have been relocated from
the Shire of Caboolture. They have been restored by the
Historical Society's "Dad's Army" with help from
Woodford prisoners, community service workers, communirty
groups such as Apex, Lions, Rotary and Quota, and volunteer
helpers. All the buildings are furnished with thousands
of items which have been donated.
Other
societies, such as the Horticultural Society and the Antique
Machinery Restoration Society are very active in the village.
The village is run by and maintained by the Caboolture Historical
Society and is a non-profit organisation. All members work
in an honary capacity and are dedicated to and enthusiastic
about the village.
