Amersham Museum is a small, independent, volunteer-run museum based largely in a medieval hall house, exploring the town's past through hands-on displays. You can sit at a Tudor dinner table, relax in a 1930s living room, listen to stories in a 1960s record shop, and follow a timeline from fossils to dolls houses. There's also a changing exhibition programme, guided walks, activity sessions, and a medicinal herb garden to wander through. It suits families, local history enthusiasts, and anyone curious about Amersham's story, from market town to Metro-land. The museum sits in Old Amersham, with Amersham station 0.7 miles away, and there are 16 bookable places to stay within 5 miles on BritStays for those wanting to explore further.
