Amersham Museum History

The Museum first opened in 1991, following several years of fundraising and volunteer work to renovate the Tudor hall house. In 1993 the Museum won a National Heritage Award.

In 2001, the Museum built a small extension with funding from the Heritage Lottery Fund and Chiltern District Council. From 2008 this space will be used to show museum visitors an introductory film about Amersham.

Since 2005, the Museum has updated its facilities and many of its displays installing new showcases, lighting and information panels. The museum continues to collect photographs, ephemera and objects that closely relate to the history of the town. We are particularly interested in acquiring objects that will help us to tell the story of Amersham since 1945.
