Dad's Army Museum

Dad's Army Museum in Thetford holds objects from a British television series centered on home guard volunteers during World War II. The collection includes original costumes, props, photographs, and scripts that document these civilian defenders and their stories.

The series began in the 1960s and followed a home guard unit stationed in an English coastal town during wartime. The museum was founded to preserve this period and show how ordinary people defended their communities.

The collection shows how a comedy series shaped British television and helped audiences understand local defense through humor during wartime. Visitors find personal items from actors and original scripts that reveal how the show stayed alive in people's hearts.

The museum is located in the town center and is easy to reach on foot, with clear signs marking the entrance. Visitors should wear comfortable shoes as there are several stairs and narrow rooms inside.

Standing in the town itself is a restored statue of one of the show's main characters, showing how deeply rooted the series is in Thetford. This monument was created by residents and fans to honor the local connection to the story.
