THE Kerang Historical Museum will open its doors for Heritage Day tomorrow.

Demonstrations will run throughout the day, with sheep shearing at 12pm and 2.30pm and a wool press demonstration at 2.45pm.

The Family History Group will be there to answer questions about tracing your family history, and a historical tour of the town will run at 1pm.

Restored engines and vintage cars will be on display, and a Clydesdale horse will be wandering around outdoors to amuse the kids.

There will also be a once-off display of a First World War soldier’s letters and the diary of a World War Two war bride.

Light refreshment will be provided throughout the day.

The museum will be open from 11am until 4.30pm. Entry is $5 for adults and $2 for children.
