Whittlesey Museum

A local museum telling the stories of Whittlesey, its industries, traditions and surrounding fen landscape.

Collections and local stories trace life on a fen island that became a market town, exploring work, community traditions and changes to the surrounding land. Small museums such as this are particularly good at preserving the details that larger regional histories can miss: objects and photographs show how national changes were lived locally. Use it as a starting point for exploring Whittlesey’s historic streets and the distinctive landscape around the town. Check the museum’s own information for its current visiting arrangements.
