The Museum opened to the public on Wednesday 7th March 2012, and will close at mid-day on Friday 26th October 2012
This museum is always changing. We focus on the history of the town and The Great Western Railway.
The museum is now open with a new exhibition celebrating Sporting Life in Newton Abbot.
|
The museum exhibitions are arranged in a series of small rooms, which includes the GWR Room. Each year we add a new exhibition, retaining some past exhibitions and renewing others, so there is always something new to see and learn.
Go to our Conservation project on the right hand menu bar to find out all about our exciting conservation and arts project, or to the Heart of Oak web-site www.heart-of-oak.info.

The Town Trail
The Town Trail was launched in 2011. The trail is a great way to explore the town with your family. Discover quirky stories and characters from the past!
The FREE Town Trail leaflet is available from:
-
The Town Hall, 9 Devon Square
-
The Tourist Information Centre, Courtenay Street
-
The Pharmacy Cafe, Queen Street
-
and the Museum from 7th March to Mid-day 26th October 2012
The Town Trail can take up to one and a half hours to complete, or more, depending on your personal speed. The good thing about it is that you could complete a small section of it in one day and return to complete it on another occasion. It's all up to you!
The trail is access friendly but take care crossing the roads, especially if you are in a wheelchair. Once you have completed the trail and collect the brass rubbings, collect your free prize from the Museum, Town Council offices or the Tourist Information Centre.
HAVE FUN!
