A small but interesting museum about the history of Croydon. Artefacts have been donated/loaned by current and former occupants of the town and tell the story of Croydon's recent history and further back. You should expect to spend approximately an hour to an hour and a half here if you want to look at all of the displays and read the notes, etc. A few interactive exhibits for kids, but more geared towards the people and the history than a "pushing buttons" museum. Worth a visit to soak up the local history!

Our museum here in Croydon is smaller than the other areas but still as knowledgeable and interesting as the others. Every town has their own story to tell and it's amazing how you can easily know it in one place!

Good thing I brought my kid here for a tour during his free week. I learned things as much as he does too. Can't believe i know such little things about our town!
