History told through artefacts
Inside the Brighton Town Hall are rooms filled with photos, documents, art, costumes and other artefacts that tell the story of Bayside and its surrounds.
Run by volunteers from the Brighton Historical Society, the collection is curated during the year with exhibitions that change.
The society has enjoyed many milestones over nearly five decades, starting with the first public event in 1963 where locals brought their treasures for assessment by a local antique dealer.
This event delivered items from the estate of former councillor Thomas Wilson, which became the centre of its collection.
The Boon Wurrung people’s millennia long history in Bayside was highlighted in 2016 as the society formally repatriated a stone axe head to the Traditional Owners of the Bayside area.
