Exmouth Museum
Exmouth Museum was first opened in 1985 and is housed in a 19th century building which was the Council Stables together with the adjoining foreman's cottage.
We tell the story of Exmouth and its people. Exhibits include a 1950s Room, a Victorian Kitchen, Wartime, the Beach, Children's Toys, Railways, Shipping, Antique Lace and Commemorative China. For the children we have Quiz Sheets and our ever popular 'Find the Cat' trail.

- the development of the town into a seaside resort
- docks and railways
- Victorian kitchen
- the 1950's room
