What visitors say
We visited this lovely museum and can highly recommend it. Lots of information and artefacts packed into the space with the traction engine, WW1 tank and German field gun being a few of the many highlights. The little tea room is great as well as being very fairly priced and Sarah and Dan who work in the cafe are a real credit to the museum. Sarah makes an excellent cup of tea and Dan was a real pleasure to talk to, and a great cook by the sound of it. All the staff throughout the museum were friendly and informative and enhanced the visit as well. Highly recommend and it's free for all to use which is a huge bonus.

Free museum! Loads of stuff to see, most of it made in Lincolnshire through the years. Couple of minutes walk from the top on Lincoln but well worth the effort. Very educational for the kids.

Fantastic afternoon out. The museum is very well kept and has some fabulous old items. The highlight was seeing the 1st tank Daphne. Staff were very helpful. Highly recommend.

Free entry and lots to see and learn about. There were tasks for children to keep them engaged, but your interest will do the heavy lifting! Nice little cafe and giftshop. There is also a playground. Hide and seek was popular!
