A HISTORIC township plaque stolen last month will be replaced.
Pyramid Hill Op-shop has donated almost $2000 to the Mologa and District Landcare Group for the cost of a new plaque.
The brass plaque, which included a map and former locations of Mologa businesses, disappeared from the railway reserve where it had been since a back-to in 1997.
Landcare group member Guido Assmann approached the op-shop for assistance in raising funds for a new plaque.
He said the order with Kyabram firm DP Jones and Co (had now been placed and a plaque would be reinstalled next month.
Max Gamble, who was secretary of the back-to committee, said the op-shop donation would ensure the memory of early Mologa settlers and ensured later generations continued to be honoured.
He said the work of the Landcare group and particularly Guido and his wife Christl and president Bill Boyd had been important in the quest to raising funds.
Guido said: “We are so pleased that the local history will be recorded once more.”
