Fact finding at Congleton Museum (2014)

The Congleton Museum Trust is a registered charity, formed in 1985 by a group of local history enthusiasts, pulling together as much as possible of the history of Congleton.  It has continued to explore and find innovative ways of exhibiting this to the community and in 2002,  the Trust were able to open the museum in the former Police Station, next to the Town Hall.  There was by then a wealth of fascinating artefacts to display, including an Anglo Saxon log boat, a burial urn from 1500 BC, two major coin hoards from the 17th Century plus numerous items of historical interest from more recent times. A good starting place to explore!
