The Society was formed in 1995 and continues to be active in the community.  It was set up with the objective of researching the rich heritage of the Ballinamallard area, to record the information and make it available for future generations. To date it has a considerable collection of photographs, articles and newspaper cuttings relating to the area and its residents. It is always on the look out for more however and would be delighted if you can add to that collection.

It has on a number of occasions laid on an exhibition when most of this material put on display as well as a wealth of material from private collectors. In 2002 it was privileged to have the Queen and Prince Philip view their historical display in the Marquee during the Queen’s Jubilee tour to the village.

In 2005 it was responsible for the publication of  “Ballinamallard a place of importance” the local history of the area. Unfortunately it is feared that all copies of the book have now been sold out.

The Society holds its meetings on the last Thursday in the month over the winter period (September – April) when it invites speakers from a range of interests – local and further afield.  Take a few minutes to look at our photo album.
