Marton Museum of Country Bygones

Discover an eclectic mix of artefacts showing how people lived and worked in the country.

This small museum had been closed for some years following the death of its founder but is now being opened on Sunday afternoons during June, July, August and September by a group of volunteers who have been working on the cataloguing and preservation of the museum contents (well over 3000 to date). All of the exhibits were acquired locally and cover a wide variety of aspects of country life.

The Museum will open on the 19th and 20th of September. Hands-on exhibits and demonstrations of rural crafts including, corn dolly making and spinning plus other local crafts will be on show. Homemade cakes and refreshments will be on sale in the pavilion.
