From steam engines to social history in period rooms and shops, plus a working printing press.
Great little local interest museum normally free to enter but a small charge applies on event days. Lots of little exhibits on how life used to be, the agricultural displays were particularly interesting There is a small play area for kids and a very reasonably priced cafe on site as well as a limited amount of free parking Allow maybe 2 hours for a good look round it's mostly indoors so good for a rainy day also has a small gift shop There are certainly some fascinating local interest stories
What a wonderful experience, I had a lovely afternoon with my partner on a lovely warm day, it was very interesting and I learnt a lot as my partner is the one from Lincoln and not me as I'm a Yorkshire lass myself it was great to see how Lincoln was in the 1900's and what home life would have been like as well as seeing the war and military exhibitions, I myself wasn't too interested about this but my partner was very intrigued , I liked looking at all the old transport and the first tank as well as what essential shops looked like such as the post office or the pharmacy and ladies clothing shops. The staff were very helpful and kind as it was both our first visits and they described the museum layout with detail and made us aware of where the immunities where located and I noticed that the museum was very accessible as they had universally accessible automatic doors and wider corridors and door ways to give more access which was great, the courtyard was small but lovely for enjoying the sun and cleanliness was great too. And to make it even better it was free entry and the museum wasn't busy or too overwhelming. Thank you for a lovely afternoon out and we hope to come back and have an explore upstairs at the other exhibitions.
Took my son here for the first time on Saturday and he loved it. I don't know why we didn't visit sooner. The museum is packed with everything Lincoln and Lincolnshire from the farming through to the development of the Tank at the Triton works. I would thoroughly recommend this museum to all ages as there's something for everyone.
It was extremely nice to walk around and see all the items. Very interesting , I would definitely recommend it.
A lovely museum you can visit for free. They have made a great playground for the little ones to enjoy in the courtyard. The museum itself is very nicely organised. You can see things from daily life to military and farming life.
Totally amazing free, museum. Full of fascinating objects, as well as vintage life displays and vintage vehicles, including a WWII Tank from Bovington. Please give a donation to help support this excellent museum. Staff are very helpful and friendly too. Note: limited free parking spaces available.
