The commemoration, available for viewing until May 3, is the result of a collaboration between the Yass RSL sub-Branch and the Yass & District Historical Society.
Convenor Jan Wilson said while there have been some long 12-hour days, the whole thing has come together really well.
"We've had to make adjustments with a few things obviously but we've been able to work really well with the Historical Society in coming up with this display."
Over the last three months organisers have been imploring locals to bring in their personal wartime memorabillia, with a focus on Anzac.
The Hall boasts a huge range of medals, photos, stories, poems, a camp site display, paintings, educational videos available to watch and a specially-made Anzac quilt courtesy of the Yass Quick Quilters.
Mrs Wilson said they would have had around 500 people check out the display on Saturday, and there's been a fairly "steady stream" of visitors since.
Mrs Wilson said Yass Valley Council has been great in granting them the use of the Hall and local man Scott Yates also deserved a special mention.
She also said Winston Williams, who is reading 'Letters from the Front', is not to be missed. He's on today and tomorrow from 12.30pm.
The commemoration will be up from 10am to 4pm each day until Sunday.
