Euchareena Soldiers Memorial HallPrint Page
The hall was erected to commemorate those from the district who served in World War One. Additions have been made to the hall over the years.
The original Memorial Hall, which also contained the district's honour roll, was officially opened on September 11th, 1925, by Captain W. F. Dunn, then Minister for Agriculture in the State Parliament, in the presence of a crowded gathering. The building was erected largely by the proceeds of a queen competition, a hurricane contest extending over a period of six weeks, during which time the inhabitants into the movement and raised £934. The hall was opened free of debt.
A fire destroyed the hall and its contents on the 4th October 1928. The building was insured and a new hall was opened on the 24th May 1929.
