Beaminster Museum

In a Grade II listed former Congregational Chapel the Museum's displays illustrate the history of Beaminster and the lives of its people from medieval to modern times. Find out about flood and fire, families, buildings, trades, schools and pastimes. Archaeology, agricultural and local village history are featured. Interest for all the family. Visitors can hear the organ play, listen to voices remembering times past, set in motion a turret clock and see the first lap top computer. Specially for children is the Beaminster Bee Trail. A programme of special exhibitions changes throughout the season. Facilities include a reference library and a shop. In the words of a recent visitor "what a gem of a place".
