Wellington Museum, Independent museum in Wellington, England
The Wellington Museum occupies a Grade II listed building with traditional architectural elements including porches and bay windows on the ground floor.
The structure dates from the 17th century and previously functioned as The Squirrel Hotel before its transformation into a local history museum.
The museum collections present exhibitions about the local wool industry, agriculture, iron founding, and connections to Arthur Wellesley, Duke of Wellington.
The museum functions as both an exhibition space and administrative center, housing the town council and Local History Society offices.
The building name derives from the symbol of the Bluetts of Holcombe Rogus, influential landowners who shaped the local region.
