About Us A brief history The Angaston & Penrice Historical Society was formed in 1997 when a public meeting was called by the Angaston Main Street committee. Monthly meetings are held in the Old Union Chapel, Penrice Road, Angaston on the fourth Tuesday of every month at 7.30pm. We have a small archive, a photographic collection and provide a service for people interested in researching families or buildings in the Angaston and Penrice region of the Barossa Valley. Our group also volunteers to man the Doddridge Blacksmith Shop, a working blacksmith shop in Angaston. Objects of the Society 1. To arouse interest in and to promote the study and discussion of the history of the district of Angaston and Penrice through meetings, excursions, publications and exhibitions, and any other lawful and appropriate means:   2. To encourage the preservation of local records, historical sites and relics;   3. To hold, maintain and preserve such items as may be donated or loaned to the Society; and to make a register of other items relating to Angaston and Penrice's heritage which are not incorporated in our collection.   4. To arrange for or carry out and do all lawful things necessary for the attainment of the above objects and any other objects, which may seem desirable at any future time which are not inconsistent with the above objects.   5.We aim to provide a place where local information and objects can be sorted, collected and arranged to be appropriately stored as a means by which that information and those objects can be looked after and shared.
