All proceeds raised from the night will fund restoration of key objects in the collection and the ongoing maintenance of Lydham Hall.
One of the oldest homes in the St George area and the only dedicated museum in Bayside, Lydham Hall, built in the 1860s, was also the home of noted naturalist David Stead and his daughter Christina the famous novelist.
The NSW Heritage listed building reopened on Sunday, February 4 following extensive renovations undertaken by Bayside Council and is the headquarters of the St George Historical Society.
The museum is also home to a large collection of items from the National Trust.
The St George Historical Society fundraiser will have a Christmas in July theme.
St George Historical Society President Wesley Fairhall said, "The main reason for the fundraiser is that we have some very important infrastructure projects for the museum.
"We are trying to make it a more commercial kitchen so that we can continue with our famous Devonshire teas and our winter hot soups on the verandah.
"We are also wanting to care for and preserve our wonderful museum collection of artefacts.
"And we are hoping that people will come along and become new members of the St George Historical Society."
