The Museum, Newton Stewart

Newton Stewart is the gateway to the Galloway Hills and the Museum is an exciting place to visit in this fascinating region.

Housed in the former St John's Church, the Museum is home to a large collection of artifacts, all set in their own section: Nursery; Tradesman's Tools; Carpentry; Diary; Kitchen Smithy: Fabrics & Clothing, Trophies & Medals; Books; Maps & Artwork, plus many more.

There is a total of some 25 sections, all packed with memorabilia to evoke recollections of times long past.

You can perhaps trace your family tree with the help of some of our volunteers. The Museum holds records of many local families and numerous photographs of local landmarks.
