Murringo Memorial HallPrint Page Print this page


Photographs supplied by Henry Moulds

The hall was erected to commemorate those from the district who served in World War One. Two marble tablets on either side of the entrance door list the names of those who fought in World War One and were unveiled by the mothers of fallen soldiers at the opening of the hall in October 1928. 

The Soldiers Memorial Hall was erected beside the old old stone hall of earlier days (originally a mechanics institute) which became an annexe and supper room. The foundation stone for the hall was laid on ANZAC Day 1928 by Mrs Margaret Johnson. The hall cost £1745 and was officially opened by Major Reid, MC, MLA on October 17th 1928.
