If you ever pass by Biggar, stop and visit this museum! What a precious hidden gem! Starting with the staff, who's absolutely helpful and nice. Then the models... with adorable and funny details. And finally the shops in the back!! My goodness, the level of detail takes you back in time. Suddenly you are in a 19th century neighbourhood, visiting the grocery or the pharmacy. One of the best museums I've visited!
Fabulous wee museum...the volunteer staff were absolutely fantastic. Made us really welcome and gave us a great insight into some other exhibits...highly recommended.
Fantastic wee museum. The replica shops were fascinating. Tip - if you visit the museum there is reserved parking spaces with no time limit for visitors at the door. Most of the parking in Biggar is for a limited time
Really good. Very informative staff. Loved the historical re-creations. Glad we popped in.
A marvelous little museum with so much great information. Please don't miss it.
Great little museum. Although most of the exhibits are aimed at an adult audience, there's a couple of hunt and quiz type things for kids as well as dressing up and toy boxes which kept my 3 year old occupied for two hours while the adults enjoyed the museum. The staff were so friendly and helpful and the exhibits are so varied that there really is something for everyone in here. Very enjoyable and fascinating place. Five stars
