Fowey museum may be a small one room affair, housed in one of the oldest buildings in the town dating back to the 15th century, but it is packed to the ceiling with interesting artifacts illustrating some of the rich and varied history of this harbour town and its inhabitants.

Some of the displays are changed every year so that we can commemorate local events.

This is not your usual type of museum and it certainly isn’t a large grey building with all the exhibits neatly arranged on shelf after shelf in glass cabinets - ask any of our visitors!
The Davidstow Airfield and Cornwall at War Museum (usually known by the shorter title Cornwall at War Museum) is located on part of the old WW2 airfield RAF Davidstow Moor. The museum, which covers about two acres, officially opened in June 2008 with just a few buildings and artifacts but since then has grown year by year.

A great day out for the whole family whatever the weather

The Heritage Centre is housed in an old chapel within the Town Cemetery. This building dates from the latter half of the 19c but has recently been refurbished.

Being a small venue, many items are stored in the archive. These items need regular checks to see that they remain in good condition. It seemed a good idea to exhibit some of these, and next year the exhibition will be themed "Then and Now", showing how once familiar items fell out of use and were replaced.
