Sale Historical Society was first formed in 1964. Although it then languished, acting secretary Stuart Ashton maintained a point of contact for collecting local history. Newspaper man Milton Lewis was the catalyst for its rebirth in November 1970. As the City of Sale gradually relinquished its former Foster St Council Chambers, the Foster Street Museum was born, opening in 1975.
The Museum has an extensive archive, a collection of local memorabilia, local Honour Rolls, Sale Council records and items on local businesses, events and identities.
The Foster Street Museum, featuring changing exhibitions on the town and its businesses, is open from 1.30 pm 4 pm each Wednesday and Sunday afternoon. Entry gold coin donation.
