Pop in and learn something new!

We were exploring the town and decided on the spot to pop in and find out some of the history of the town. It is free, and an hour is enough. Toothbrushes, gloves and the seat of government during the Plague interested us most.

Amazing little museum

Nestled in a back street in the centre of Hertford, this amazing little place has some great artifacts from all eras of the past in Hertford. Lots to do for kids too. Well maintained and looked after.

Dinky and full of hidden treasures

Free to enter and bunged full of weird and wonderful artefacts as well as classic local history, this place is a wee gem. I strongly suggest making an hour or more to stroll around gaping at the displays and reading the info. Although it's no...More

We had a very enjoyable visit to this small, yet very intriguing museum. I would thoroughly recommend a visit. Entrance was free and there is enough on display to whittle away an hour or so. We took particular interest in the garden area, which had...More
