Description
This award winning museum is located in part of a 15th century timber-framed hall house in the centre of Old Amersham. Behind the museum is a herb garden running down to the river. The museum features Amersham's history from archaeological finds to the town's more recent past. Children are always welcome with many things to do and touch by following our "glis-glis trail".
