Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We visited this museum on 25 th October whilst staying on a short break in Louth. A volunteer made us feel welcomed on arrival. We were very interested when she pointed out all of the relevant landmarks on the William Brown panorama of Louth. I also enjoyed the displays of local brick making, the Victorian wood carvings and photographs showing the local flooding in 1920. I think the museum has something of interest for all ages, it is a relatively small but items were well displayed with relevant information.The entrance fee of £4 adults is completely worth spending. Children are free. If you are in Louth it is definitely worth visiting.Both volunteers on the day went out of their way to give visitors a good experience.

We were in Louth with other descendants of the Rhyley family who were resident in Louth in the 1800's and beyond.
The get together was organised by a relative whose ancestor had emigrated to Canada in the early 1900's and from where she and her husband had travelled.
The Museum curator and team arranged a walk of Louth where we were given a comprehensive insight into where our ancestors had lived and worked.
We then spent time looking around the museum and found links with other family members we'd been unaware of.
As a band of volunteers, this small museum are doing an amazing job of keeping the history of this market town alive and relevant.
We came away with much more information about our (my husband's ) family links with the town and seeing where they'd been brought my ancestry experience to life.

Such a friendly & informative little find! A lovely way to learn more about the town, and a short walk from everything if you want to pay a visit.

My 8 year old granddaughter was given trails to follow and fill in, and we were looked after particularly well by the receptionist and a guide. The exhibits are well set out and information is extensive and easy to read.

Am amazing museum - a wide range of extremely interesting exhibits thoughtfully displayed with excellent information for both adults & children. We went especially to see Thomas Wallis' carvings which are breath-taking but I most enjoyed the sense of Louth as a current living place as it gave extra meaning to its past. Many objects had their journey to the museum documented & two have come home from the US. I found the display of the devastating flood in 1920 very affecting with personal details & photos taken at the time. Not to be missed!

This is a surprising and fascinating gem of a place that charts the history of this wonderful town from pre-history. The flood of 1920 has its own fascinating exhibition upstairs. Well worth a visit.

Really enjoyed our visit. The museum is well laid out. Lots of interesting exhibits. The staff were very friendly and knowledgeable. Would highly recommend to anyone, visiting the local area. A small fee paid for admission, which helps to maintain the museum

We love dogs but they're not allowed in the museum. However, they're welcome in our outside covered space, and we have a dog bowl. Just ask if you want fresh water.
