Amersham Museum
About This Museum
Tucked away on Amersham's historic High Street, the Amersham Museum is a delightful surprise. It's not a stuffy, hands-off institution but a vibrant hub where local stories from Roman times to the present day come alive. You're encouraged to touch, play, and explore the past in what feels like a friendly neighbour's ancient home. The experience is capped off by a charming herb garden out back, a quiet spot that smells of history itself.
Collection Highlights
Discover everything from prehistoric flints and Tudor relics to tales of the Metropolitan Railway's arrival. Interactive displays let you try on period costumes or piece together archaeological finds, making it especially engaging for families.
Visitor Information
You'll find it at 49 High Street in Old Amersham; entry is free, though donations are always welcome to help them keep telling these wonderful local stories.
Architecture & Building
The museum is housed in a characterful timber-framed building from the Tudor period, its wonky floors and low beams adding immense charm to the visit.
