News from the Museum
If you have not visited for a while, you may have missed the upgrading of the Margaret Tiller Gallery upstairs in the mill building. The new "fire house" to house the Fire Engine has been constructed, our transport displays are now completed, and there has been lots of work improving the display of our agricultural collection. Why not come for a visit.

The WIKI has returned
After a prolonged absence, we are pleased to see you back,as the wiki is once again back online. We are fortunate that a backup was available to reinstate the website. In getting back online, several bugs have also been dealt with, particularly the Google mapping function which is now working as it should. We look forward to many more stories being added, and encourage you to add your own articles, recollections and comments to the wiki as well. Now is also a great time to visit the museum in person
Open Sundays 2-4.30pm or by arrangement.
