Fabulous little museum with an abundance of history. Learned so much about Towcester and its rightful place in the history of England.

Great little museum, so much packed into a small space. We spent about 90mins, and probably could have spent longer if we'd read everything. Highly recommend.

Lovely museum showcasing local history through various time periods. Perfect for kids, with dressing up and other activities; and great for grown-ups, with a wealth of interesting info and artifacts. Cute little shop, and many nice cafés nearby for a cup of tea afterwards. Very nice, knowledgeable staff too!
