Brief Description:
The museum’s aim is to preserve the heritage of Tiverton by collecting objects and artefacts belonging to Tiverton’s history. Without the work being done by the museum it is feared that many items will perish and be lost. Exhibits include a GWR steam engine, a farm wagon and various displays showing the history of agriculture in the area.
