Wootton Bassett Museum, Local museum in Royal Wootton Bassett, United Kingdom
The Wootton Bassett Museum occupies the upper floor of a Grade 1 listed Town Hall building, supported by fifteen substantial pillars beneath the council chamber.
The Town Hall building, constructed in 1695 by the Hyde family, Earls of Clarendon, included a detention facility called the Blind House until its removal in 1889.
The museum exhibits detail the transformation of Royal Wootton Bassett through displays about the railway system, dairy industry, and American military presence during World War II.
The museum operates on Wednesdays and Saturdays from 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM, with temporary closures during renovation periods that extend into 2024.
During restoration work, the museum maintains community engagement through pop-up displays at various locations including the library foyer and local shop windows.
