Woodford’s historical reunion
Woodford will come alive with nostalgia and community spirit as the Woodford Historical Society prepares to host the 44th Villeneuve-Neurum Reunion.
Scheduled for Sunday, August 25, 2024, at the Woodford Museum starting at 10:30 am, the event promises to be a day of reminiscence and celebration.
President Ron Trim of the Woodford Historical Society Inc. Has highlighted the historical significance of the reunion, tracing its roots back to the inaugural gathering on July 27, 1980, at Apex Park in Caboolture, which saw 72 attendees.
The reunion honors the communities of Villeneuve and Neurum, paying tribute to the two small schools that once served as educational beacons for local children.
Both Villeneuve and Neurum have deep historical ties, originally part of the Durundur Run opened for selection in the 1870s, with Villeneuve also linked to the Kilcoy Run.
Past pupils of Neurum and Villeneuve schools, along with current and former residents, their families, and interested individuals are warmly invited to join in the festivities.
The day promises opportunities to reconnect with local history, share memories, and explore the rich heritage of these districts that were once integral parts of the Caboolture Divisional Board.
For those planning to attend, RSVP to Donna at the Woodford Historical Society for catering purposes.
