Kilmore Memorial Hall - Veterans Description for Public
The Kilmore Memorial Hall is located at 14 Sydney Street. The inaugural meeting to discuss the need for a new public hall was held in March 1958 and within a year it was decided the hall would be named "Kilmore Soldiers' Memorial Hall." In 1962, the State Government provided a subsidy of £2,250 and a loan of £10,000 was obtained by the Shire from the State Bank of Victoria. The Hall Committee had a unique method of paying off loans: "They bought 1000 sheep and farmed them out locally for free agistment. After shearing, and sale after three years, they raised £12,000." The Hall cost £26,700 and it was expected that this would be paid off in five years using their "normal" method. The Governor of Victoria, Sir Rohan Delacombe, opened the Hall and dedicated the meeting room which had been built for the Kilmore Sub-branch of the Returned Servicemen's League.
