Season's Greetings

We, the curator, caretakers and volunteers at the Greenough Pioneer Museum wish you a very happy christmas and all the best for 2010.
The museum will only be closed Christmas Day, otherwise it is business as usual (just remember our new opening hours of 9.30am to 3.30pm). We look forward to having you and your family and friends visit this museum during this festive season.
Scarecrow does Santa - he is holding a traditional Greenough Xmas Tree - the dried out flower stalk of an Aloe plant. These plants have been used locally for over 130 years.

Scarecrow

As part of the Open Day activities, Joey Martin made a scarecrow for the Pioneer Museum. He was placed in the potato patch to keep guard over the Vegie Garden. The potatoes have now been dug up and pumpkin seed planted in their place.
