Description / Background

The Crookwell Shire Memorial Centre was built around a Temperance Hall that was erected in 1880. It also serves as the library for the town. The memorial stone in honour of those who served in the Second World War was laid on 15 November 1953 and the centre was dedicated on 10 October 1954. It was officially opened one month later on 12 November. An honour roll for the same war is located inside the foyer of the hall. It had already been unveiled by the time of the opening.
