Long-serving Kingaroy Heritage Museum volunteer Harold Adlem was thanked by South Burnett Regional Council at the Council Chambers in a small ceremony last week.<\/p>\n

Mr Adlem has volunteered at the Museum for an amazing 36 years.<\/p>\n

“The Kingaroy Heritage Museum came into existence when a small group of like-minded locals realised that the rich history of Kingaroy and its district was passing by and needed to be preserved for\u00a0future generations,” a spokesperson said.<\/p>\n

“With this in mind\u00a0these aspiring historians joined forces and manifested the Kingaroy and District Historical\u00a0Society.<\/p>\n

“They began the search for the best location to showcase their cause.<\/p>\n

“Very soon the society found the\u00a0ideal place in the derelict Kingaroy Powerhouse located right in the centre of town. At the time, this iconic\u00a0building was held in the custody of the Kingaroy Shire Council.<\/p>\n

“In 1985, approval was obtained from Council\u00a0to use the building for a museum.<\/p>\n

“A\u00a0photographic record was kept of the project, with early scenes showing that the extensive restoration work\u00a0required was not for the faint-hearted.<\/p>\n

“However, these individuals were driven and strong-willed to fulfil\u00a0their purpose and carry out their vision of the museum.<\/p>\n

“One of these society members has been a\u00a0prominent figure throughout the Kingaroy Heritage Museum\u2019s\u00a0lifespan.<\/p>\n

“A tall man with a dairy farmer physique, an American-style cap adorning his head promoting\u00a0‘John Deere’, and usually clad in stubbie shorts.\u00a0This man was our very own Harold Adlem.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

“It is now 2021, with some 36 years having passed.<\/p>\n

“Harold is still very much an icon with in the museum, having\u00a0had such a huge part in bringing it into existence.<\/p>\n

“Hardly a week goes by where he is not helping out where\u00a0he can, with a wonderful store of knowledge of the region that we value so greatly.<\/p>\n

“Harold is held in high esteem along with the other founding people, including the society members,\u00a0their families and other supportive locals that played an integral part in bringing the highly acclaimed\u00a0Kingaroy Heritage Museum to life.<\/p>\n

“Visitors say it is one of the best heritage museums they have seen!\u00a0Congratulations and thank you for all your hard work and service to the Kingaroy Heritage Museum.”<\/p>\n
