Details

Swanage was built on the success of the Victorian stone industry and the Museum’s displays reflect the importance in the town’s history that the stone trade played, along with the transition to becoming a small, beautiful and successful holiday resort.

The Museum also offers explanation and directions for the trails around the town where many particularly fine Victorian buildings can be seen, including old London relics that were saved from destruction.

We look forward to seeing you soon.
