The Henley & Grange Historical Society Inc. was formed in 1979 with the aim of recording and archiving the local history of Henley Beach, Grange, and also including parts of Fulham Gardens, Fulham, Tennyson, Henley South and West Beach.

Our Society holds four general meetings a year, with guest speakers covering a wide range of topics. In between meetings we arrange visits and tours of interest for our members.

Our work is entirely carried out by volunteers who join the Committee, edit our Journal, or work on archiving, displays and any other projects that are necessary.

The Society is keen to obtain photographs, artifacts, and family histories for our collection. Please contact us if you have anything of interest.
