A re-elected Andrews Labor Government will support the Maldon Vintage Machinery and Museum, so they can continue to celebrate the rich history of Maldon and the surrounding region.
Bendigo West MP Maree Edwards visited the museum on Wednesday and announced that a re-elected Andrews Government will provide a $100,000 grant to help the organisation continue to tell the story of Maldon’s historical significance to tourists and the local community.
Since 1972, the museum has supported the local area in sharing the history of a once bustling gold mining town.
The museum has continued to evolve into a unique display of the community’s history, showing how life was once lived – from hand tools and horsepower to the industrial revolution with engines and electricity, to solar power.
Ms Edwards said the funding will make sure they are well-equipped to continue sharing Maldon’s history.
“This investment will see Maldon Vintage Machinery and Museum get the support they need to inform tourists and community members about the rich history of our area.
“We’re proud to ensure hard working volunteers can keep doing what they do best – telling the story of Maldon.”
