Corfe Castle Town Trust Museum
The Museum is housed on the ground floor of the smallest Town Hall in England and so it is quite small too, but well worth a visit.
Starting with the Iguanadon (dinosaur) footprints, the museum exhibitions offers a glimpse into the local history of Corfe Castle and the Isle of Purbeck. It incorporates numerous engaging interactive displays and a touchscreen showcasing aspects of village life, celebrations, and traditions.
The interactive touchscreen also features a collection of short videos made by students from the Corfe Castle Primary School Local History Project.
The museum has reopened – see our post Corfe Castle Museum Reopens for more information.
