Tudor House Museum

Tudor House Museum is a 1600 merchant residence in Weymouth that displays period rooms with original furnishings and household objects. The building stands near The Cove, an inlet where traders once kept their boats, linking home and commerce.

The house was built around 1600 during Weymouth's active trading period. After facing demolition in the 1930s and bomb damage during the war, it was carefully restored with period collections.

The house shows how merchant families lived and conducted business under one roof during the 1600s. Visitors can see the spaces where personal life and trade activities overlapped, revealing the rhythm of middle-class household routines.

The museum sits in central Weymouth within walking distance of the waterfront and main streets. Plan for stairs inside the building, though staff can advise on access options for wheelchairs and other needs.

The building endured three major fires and bomb damage during World War II, yet was rescued from demolition by an architect who restored it with genuine period pieces. This survival against odds makes the collections inside feel particularly connected to the original residents.
