About Millom Folk Museum
Millom Folk Museum was started in 1974 and for many years resided in part of Millom's library. During this time, many artefacts, documents and photographs were collected and donated. Due to the small space available at the library, only a tiny portion of what the museum had could be displayed.
After a great deal of searching for more suitable premises, the present location at Millom Railway Station was secured and, at last, the museum could show what it had.
Some of the present displays are very large, such as the Hodbarrow mining cage, and some are quite discreet. The museum has over 10,000 artefacts at its disposal, including many letters, documents and photographs cataloguing Millom's history through the lives of local people.
This web site is the latest addition to the museum and we hope that through it many more people will come and learn of our rich and varied past. You would be made most welcome and we're sure there would be something here to interest you.
