The Shire of Narrogin will host an event at the Dryandra Country Visitor Centre (DCVC) to celebrate the official opening of the recently completed Stories of Us: The Narrogin Heritage Walk Trail.
The community is invited to celebrate this new attraction for the town, which represents the Shire’s commitment to the conservation and celebration of Narrogin’s heritage buildings.
The Narrogin Heritage Walk Trail reactivates significant sections of a walk trail developed by Narrogin’s honorary historian, Maurie White and described in his 1998 booklet “Timescape”.The booklet revived community appreciation of, and enthusiasm for, the value of Narrogin’s heritage buildings, their contribution to the character of the streetscape and the local history they represent. As Maurie White affirmed “These early buildings stand as a monument to the times and people of another era.”
The entire project delivers 25 interpretive signs in anodized sketched aluminium on stylish pedestal posts installed at strategic points or nodes in the CBD, complete with trail directional markers and a trail head sign located outside the visitor centre. The 1,250 metre trail is designed for one-way travel in a clockwise direction however it can be joined at many points in the CBD. A Stories of Us brochure which includes a trail map can be obtained from the DCVC and the Courthouse Museum.
Join us on Thursday 22 October at 2pm at the DCVC for the trail’s launch.
