Kenilworth and district historical association president Lenore Meldrum said she was incredibly proud of the achievement. So much work has gone in by so many people over the 40 years, many of whom are no longer with us which is sad, she said. It was their input and their determination in 1981 to have this museum that gives us what we ve got today. A birthday celebration will be held at the museum on Wednesday, February 22. It s very small because of COVID-19, Ms Meldrum said. But I have put together a booklet which documents every committee member from 1979 on and gives a history of the museum buildings and how they came to be there.
