Rushden Hall and Museum

Rushden Museum, set in the Old Stable Block within Hall Avenue, tells the story of the town's past, from its boot and shoe manufacturing heritage to its wider cultural history. Inside you'll find a collection of artefacts, photographs and documents built up by local historians since the museum's founding in 1999. It's a small, volunteer-run museum, well suited to history enthusiasts or anyone curious about Rushden's local story, and it also hosts talks and takes part in local events such as the town's Party in the Park. Opening times are limited to weekend afternoons between May and October, with other visits by appointment. The museum sits in Rushden, North Northamptonshire, with Wellingborough station 3.4 miles away and seven bookable places to stay within 5 miles on BritStays.
