Museum opening times
We’re open until the end of September for four afternoons each week, Saturday, Sunday, Wednesday and Thursday (also Bank Holidays), 2.00-5.00pm
Please come in and say hello, have a look around the Museum and our popular gift shop.
As usual, we have lots of attractive small gifts for adults and children, a range of local books, and our wide selection of greeting cards.
Among the books is A Yankee in an English Village by Edith Stedman, the founder of the Museum. Edith gives a charming and amusing account of life in Dorchester during the 1950s-1970s. Beautifully illustrated with twelve pages of photos of Edith and the village during her time here. Price £9.99. Also available from the Wallingford Bookshop or Dorchester Co-op
