Description
The exhibition has some interesting displays of past Daventry artefacts including the old Borough Charter and a model of the railway station. Some of the displays are changed on a regular basis.

At the present time the exhibition contains many interesting items of Daventry´s history donated or loaned by local people of the town.

There are some interesting photographs and other media.

The Town Council is trying to collect and preserve as much information about the town as possible and is always willing to receive items.

A photo library is also being started so that old photographs can be digitised and copied for future reference and there will be exhibitions of these photographs for public display.
