The Radium Hill Historical Association:
This association has evolved in  response to a survey of former Radium Hill residents conducted in 1990 as to whether or not they were interested in having a Radium Hill Reunion in 1991. From the very positive response to have a Reunion, the Radium Hill Pioneers Cemetery was rehabilitated, a book entitled,

“We Were Radium Hill”

was written, and a Reunion attended by over 400 people was held in Radium Hill and Adelaide on the Easter week-end of 1991. A Newsletter was written and posted to some 300 people out-lining ongoing activities of the group. A Reunion is held every five years, the next big one being in 2006 to celebrate the Centenary of Radium Hill’s initial discovery. The aim of this Reunion will also be to bring together those folk who were born at the A.I.M. hospital (117) and those who attended the Radium Hill Schools.

A varying number of folk spend Easter of each year camped on the old school grounds.  Our initial name The Radium Hill Community Assn. was changed to Radium Hill Reunion Committee and now for legal purposes The Radium Hill Historical Assn.  Our newsletter is now called the,

“Radio Activity”

in keeping with the original name of the newsletter printed in Radium Hill. The mailing list of this newsletter has been over 650 and is posted out in February each year to ex-Radium Hill residents and families.

The objectives of the Association are to establish and preserve the historical and cultural heritage of the former Radium Hill town, Pioneers Cemetery, and Heritage Museum. To act as a focus regarding news, information and welfare of former Radium Hill residents and their families. 

The achievements of the Association would not have been possible without the efforts of voluntary helpers, donations of money, goods, and services for which it is sincerely thankful.
