Historical information

This heritage week display was held at the Shire of Eltham Parks and Environment office at 728 Main Road, the former Police Residence, which became home to EDHS in 1998.

The plough was donated to EDHS and was kept in the Shire's Works Depot in Pitt Street but unfortunately it disappeared possibly during the transition from Pitt Street to the Hat Factory.
