The museum hosts exhibitions showcasing people and events throughout Grantham's history. Margaret Thatcher and Edith Smith each have their own section which display artifacts related to them as well as showing a timeline of their lives and careers. Ther is also an Isaac Newton section, with includes display cabinets, an apothecary shop and several interactive activities for young and old alike. The Dambusters and other World War events are proudly presented with extensive information and an array of related items for visitors to view and interact with. We also host smaller exhibitions, such as the 1950’s Grantham miniature town model, St Sebastian’s Church silverware collection, 2019 St Peter’s archaeology dig and more.
One of our newest features is the community cabinet (which is updated regularly) in which relics from townspeople and associations are presented for vistors to view. If you have stories to tell or relics that could be displayed please feel free to contact us. We'd love to hear from you. Our most recent addition is the Grantham timeline which outlines significant local and world-wide events that are part of Grantham’s heritage. It is categorized into agriculture, industry, religion, governance and major world events.
We also have a small gift shop located at the front of our museum. Visitors can purchase Grantham-branded bags and mugs, Maragret Thatcher mugs and coins, books, Grantham trump cards, Newton cradles and more. Hot or cold drinks and biscuits can also be bought from our shop, for either take-away or sit in. Whilst enoying your drink, you can read one of our books from our miniature library. We accept both cash and card payments.
