Dawlish Museum

The displays in Dawlish Museum are changed regularly and aim to represent life past and present in the town, for example the acclaimed display of the February storms which severely damaged the railway.

Children as well as adults are catered for and there are activities especially for them.

The museum is run by volunteers and is self funding. The artefacts have to be kept to the same standard as those in the British Museum - running costs are therefore high. Some businesses are now providing sponsorship.

There is now a stunning resource for the town in the library. images of the town have been collected and digitized so the public may view them on a screen and even search for a specific place.
