Welcome to Ashford Museum

 

Housed in a 17th century Grade II listed building, the museum is located close to Ashford town centre and features exhibits associated with Ashford's history.  

 

These include photographs of old Ashford, Ashford at War, local archaeological and geological discoveries, artefacts from an old established Ashford pharmacy plus exhibits of every day life.

 

The Museum holds its exhibits on two floors so there is plenty to see and learn about the town's past.

Stewards Needed

If you have local historical knowledge or interest  you can help the museum by becoming a steward. Currently there is a team of approximately 50 stewards who normally work in pairs and do one or two 3-hour shifts per month. Training is provided.  Many of our current stewards have served for a long time and they find that as well as giving valuable service they enjoy the sociable atmosphere. Please contact Derek Duchemin  on 01233 500160 or email duchemin.dfch@ntlworld.com  for further details on how you can help, or pop in to the Museum and talk to the stewards on duty.
