Research

Wallace Early Settlers Association (WESA) was established in 1925 as the Old Identities Association. After many years of fundraising, they established the first museum in Riverton in January 1959.

WESA is a vital partner of the Heritage Museum. They own the collection and, using extensive records, help families trace their ancestors. The research facilities are available 7 days a week, from 1.30 - 4 pm, or by appointment. Information on Riverton, and areas can also be sourced here.

Copies of the extensive collection of photographs and portraits can be provided at a cost.

The research service is hosted by volunteers, and is open 7 days a week, from 1.30 - 4 p.m daily.
