Until November 22 the Penrith City Council Civic Centre foyer will host the Makings Of A City History Exhibition as part of the Celebrate Penrith 09 festivities.In the main entrance area there is a collection of historic memorabilia on display from 1959 onwards, featuring items from the 1950s and 1960s which have loaned for this very purpose by members of the public and Council staff. The exhibition continues inside the main building and into the horseshoe area, where displays follow Footsteps in Time through history from the original inhabitants of the area, arrival of the Colonists, the Municipal era, the First and Second World Wars and period up to 1950.
After November 22, the exhibition will then travel through all the original Councils, visiting St Marys from November 25 to December 2, Castlereagh from the December 5 to December 7 and Mulgoa on the weekend of December 11 - 12.
Penrith City Council Research Services staff would like to thank all those members of Council who have contributed time or treasured personal items to the exhibition – your assistance makes our job that much easier!
Please bring your friends and family to see the exhibition – sign the visitor’s book and enjoy the atmosphere.
