The Puhoi Historical Society Inc.
 

The Puhoi Historical Society Inc. was formed in 1976 to honour and commemorate the settlement of Puhoi, and its main objects are:-

  • To collect and preserve items of historical interest about Puhoi and its people, and to restore such items.
  • To assist in identifying and maintaining historic buildings and sites in the Puhoi area.
  • To promote research in the area and to assist other person’s, societies and groups in furthering these objects.
  • To increase public knowledge of Puhoi and its history and to enhance its special identity.
Those with family connections, people in the district and friends living elsewhere are welcome to join the Society. There is so much to be done and our small and very dedicated band of volunteers would be most appreciative of any help that can be offered. Funding too is limited and had it not been for public donations and the assistance of various outside agencies on specific projects far less would have been accomplished.
