Altona Laverton Historical Society (Altona)
The Altona Historical Society was formed in 1961, incorporated in 1996 and in 2000 amalgamated with the Laverton Historical Society to form the Altona-Laverton Historical Society Inc.
Its aim is to encourage the study of the history of Altona and Laverton area through the acquisition of relevant objects, photographs, information and archive material, making these available to members and the community for their research.
The society has increased its membership and now includes long term residents, newly arrived residents who want to know more about the Altona area and junior members.
The aim of the society is to be relevant to the community by providing information and education on historical and current issues of the area.
We would also like our collection to be more accessible to the community for research purposes.
The society is based at the Altona Homestead and has started to host a number of events at the homestead and in the park including ghost tours organised by Lantern Ghost Tours and visits by many clubs and schools.
The Altona Homestead Museum has an extensive collection of photographs and documents through which visitors can gain an understanding and feel for local community life experienced in the past.
Once the home of the Langhorne family, Altona Homestead is now home of the Altona Laverton Historical Society which warmly welcome visitors and invites you to explore beautiful Altona and savour our famous Devonshire Tea.
