Emmott House Verandah – Declared Open

A crowd of around 50 people gathered at the Museum from the opening of the new verandah of the Emmott House, the home of the Moruya Museum.

Our Eurobodalla Mayor Mathew Hatcher spoke to the heritage value of the Emmott House, and the importance of community organisations working together to achieve outcomes. He congratulated the Moruya and District Historical Society (MDHS) and Moruya Rotary on achieving maximum benefit for lowest cost through their cooperative efforts. He highlight the heritage importance of The Emmott House, and the role of the MDHS in its preservation and restoration

The NSW Member for Bega Dr Michael Holland also joined the group. After the ceremonial opening attendees enjoyed champagne and smoked salmon blinis in the Museum Garden.

Thank you to the MDHS Shed Team of volunteers who planned the project, sawed the wood and hammered the nails to complete the renovation.
