Great hidden gem in Cowes. Little museum, full of interesting things. Perfect for kids, as it is interactive with dressing up clothes and a play area. Worth looking at the picture books to see the Isle of Wight in the last few hundred years. Admission is free.
Regional heritage museum. Lots information about local people and they lives
