About Alford Heritage Museum

Housed within an A-Listed, original agricultural auction market building, Alford Heritage Museum has been welcoming visitors since 1992. The museum showcases a fascinating collection of objects telling the story of rural life through the ages.

Explore detailed recreations of traditional shops, including a tailor and shoemaker, and step back in time in the charming old schoolroom enjoyed by visitors of all ages. Discover where livestock auctions once took place and see the pens where animals were kept before being sold. Tractor lovers and farming-history enthusiasts will be delighted by the extensive display of machinery, tools, and implements.

A true local gem, the museum offers something for everyone, with quizzes for children and a warm welcome for group visits.
