Description
The Museum was set up in 1999 and is located in the former Magistrates Courthouse. The building was constructed in 1896 and was used as a court until 1995. The museum was set up by the Petersfield Area Historical Society who collected objects and artefacts for about 30 years before the museum was set up as a central resource.
