Quaint museum set in a landmark cottage, providing exhibits on the town's local & natural history.
Great little museum packed with interesting stuff. Particularly liked the Mammoth teeth and Viking ship rudders! A really good way to spend an hour or so on a rainy day.
My husband and I went there yesterday and the lady there was very friendly and helpful. The museum is bigger than it looks from outside and if full of amazing artifacts and fossils. We really enjoyed going and looking at all the exhibitions. There were interactive displays for children and even a costumes cupboard that children could try on. There is no fee to enter, you put in a donation in one of the boxes. It was really good, we highly recommend a visit if you are in Southwold. We will be visiting there again.
Excellent little town museum. A wide variety of interesting artefacts of Southwold's history (and natural history), all well displayed.
Fantastic hidden gem behind the high street! Full of incredible history and artefacts. Free admission however donations are welcome.
Fantastic place. Small but so full of amazing items. All gathered from local from the local people and all from the local area. It really is a snap shot of this area from thousands of years ago to fairly modern times. Amazing preserved history of this wonderful old village and it's inhabitants. One of the best 'museums' I've seen.
Best place to find out about the history of Southwold. The many artifacts from the long lost Southwold Railway were especially interesting. It closed in 1929 but some traces of the trackbed and a rebuilt station building can be found today. Also the battle of Sole Bay of 1672, us and the French fighting the Dutch over fish.
