One Man’s Dream - 50 Years of Griffith Pioneer Park Museum

On 12 April 1971, the gates of Griffith Pioneer Park Museum opened, realising the dream of founder Charles Sharam, who, along with other volunteers, worked for several years to make his dream a reality.

Fifty years on, the Museum continues to live ‘One Man’s Dream’, preserving and sharing our region’s history. To mark this milestone, in 2021 the community joined in our year-long celebrations with a range of workshops, exhibitions, tours and displays including an amazing video projected onto the water tank.
