It has many artefacts on display, from the ancient quern to the Marston House Fire Engine, a great favourite with children. The Museum plans to enhance its permanent and temporary exhibitions and to increase the use of the building by local schools as well as the general public. It will concentrate on improving the display of the collection of local crafts and industrial artefacts and the social history of Frome.
Recent acquisitions include; copies of tithe maps for most of the local area, pre-war scrap books kept by the Singer family, back numbers of Current Archaeology & research notes of the Knights Templar in Somerset.
Coming soon - exhibition celebrating the 100th anniversary of the Frome Operatic Society.
