History
The Katanning Historical Society was founded in 1937 and is believed to be the oldest society affiliated to the Royal Western Australian Historical Society. The first museum was established in the Town Hall after Katanning’s Jubilee. The museum was moved to the old school at the corner of Taylor and Amabel Street in 1965. Although there are several buildings on the site, the main two are Katanning’s first government school and the former Methodist Church.
