 Grantown
Museum
The true value of a museum is to give an awareness of our roots, enabling
us to understand where we are now. Without memory and a sense of belonging,
our lives have no meaning. For Grantown, this memory begins in 1765.
Grantown Museum tells the story of the town’s beginnings and is
a source of great pride to the people of Grantown. The museum was awarded
‘Commended’ in the Scottish Museum of the Year Awards 1999.
Temporary exhibitions are also a regular feature. more
