Why not visit this unique museum

 

 

Monarch Historical Museum was established in the Sydney suburb of Dee Why in 1960, and because of a lack of space was moved lock stock and barrel to Port Stephens.

Mr Monty Wedd, OAM, FMHS, FAIHA, writer, illustrator and historian is the owner and curator , and has erected a prominent building on his spacious Williamtown Property to house his collection suitably.   His museum is a showcard tourist facility and an educational outlet for Port Stephens, the Hunter Region and visitors from around the globe.  Every nationality, whether they be Australian, British, American, Japanese, Continental, Asian of Pacific will find a little of their homeland in this museum to remind them of home and the association Australia has with their countries.

The new building in Williamtown was officially opened in November 1998 to co-incide with the 80th Anniversary of Armistice.
