THE fascinating history of one of Cheshire's most
attractive and historic towns is brought to life by Nantwich Museum.
Located in Pillory Street, at the heart of the town, the museum has main galleries telling the story of Nantwich through the
ages -
Roman
salt making, Tudor Nantwich's Great Fire, the Civil
 War Battle of Nantwich (1644) and the more
recent shoe and clothing industries.
Beyond the galleries lie two extensions. The first with its
cheese-making exhibition and useful
Joseph Heler meeting room, is dedicated to
demonstrating how the county's famous cheese has traditionally been made and sold around
the floral market town of Nantwich.
Next is the magnificent, prize-winning Millennium Gallery
which provides the perfect home for a diverse programme of temporary exhibitions.
With facilities available to local community groups,
Nantwich Museum is a vibrant hub of local interest. Enter through the door of Nantwich's
former Victorian Jubilee library and discover our exciting museum for yourself.
