What is the Heritage Roadshow?
A full day of talks, tours and hands-on sessions exploring our local history, heritage and archives for our community. Stay all day or pop into the sessions that most interest you!

Join the City of Wanneroo’s Museum, Heritage and Community History teams for a rich and engaging day of discovery. Whether you’re a history buff, a family researcher, a heritage homeowner, or simply curious about where you live, this event brings together expert speakers, behind-the-scenes insights, and practical workshops to help you explore Wanneroo’s unique past.

Across five talks and an early-years hands-on heritage session, you’ll uncover everything from shipwrecks and lime kilns to caring for your personal archive and getting started with local history research.

This session is the final of three Heritage Roadshows. Sign up to our Museums and Heritage e-Newsletter for information on future events.
