Clare Museum, S.A.

History Trust - SA History Festival 2025 in May
Theme: “DECISIONS”
 

The Meeting Place

• History is shaped by people who have been compelled to make difficult DECISIONS. 

• In 2025, South Australia’s History Festival will dive deeply into the decisions that have shaped South Australia – as an ancient meeting place, and as a state.

• We invite you to reflect upon these decisions – the good and the bad, the challenging and the intriguing – and discover how historic decisions impact contemporary society.   

• Event organisers are encouraged to consider the various places where critical decision-making occurs, be it official, personal, or community focused.

• From behind closed doors to across the family dinner table, the decisions made in these settings can change the course of history.  

More information: Secretary Pauline Reid on 0400 010 879 or preid050@gmail.com 

The Museum is open on Sundays from 10.00 am to 3.00 pm for repeat visits or by appointment.
