Uncover Stories of Cheshire's Past

Cheshire has a wealth of history and heritage for you and your family to explore in the Museums of Cheshire.

Industrial heritage also features strongly among Cheshire's attractions including Crewe Heritage Centre where you can see history brought to life and discover the story of the small farming community that was transformed into the railway capital of the world.

Norton Priory Museum is the Europe’s most excavated monastery. The museum tells the story of the priory from its foundation in 1134, through its dissolution under Henry VIII, to its later life as the home of the Brooke family for more than 400 years.

Cheshire also boasts a fantastic range of museums that cover all manner of subjects and town history. Whether you want to find out about the story of Congleton town through its unique collection of hoards at Congleton Museum or explore Cheshire's textile industry at Macclesfield Silk Museum. See how roman salt and Cheshire cheese was made at Nantwich Museum or discover the fascinating history of Lymm there is something for everyone. Lymm Heritage Centre has a range of unique artifacts, where else would you find a dinosaur and football legend Pele in the same exhibition?!

If you plan to visit any of our museums please check opening times and admission prices with each individual business before you travel, despite us aiming to bring you real time information about the county's offerings things do change frequently.
