I love this museum - full of superb historical items for this historic town. The staff are always welcoming and knowledgable. The special Jubilee event was fab! Thanks

The museum includes a range of exhibits including those related to the birth of the town and the Hertford pubs. The pubs, then known as Inns, once totalled 25 in 1620. At this time Hertford had more coaching inns that anywhere else in the country and with terminus for 5 coaches going to London, this makes sense. Of these Inns only 3 survive today. There is also a cool model of the castle and a Jacobean Knot Garden.
Entrance is free but donations are appreciated.

Outstanding local Museum. It brings Hertford's past to life. Very good temporary exhibitions. Also very good booklets on Hertford's past. Produced in house.

A superbly curated display of local history and spirit of local people. Having visited the museum, we found walking in the local streets a lot more interesting as we are better informed.

Had low expectations from a small museum and was impressed by the content and presentation. The write-ups about local resistance and protest movements were interesting. Liked the audios by local people about wartime and other topics. Some good mid-20c artefacts and everyday items were good and nostalgic. Thought my visit would be 15 minutes but spent an hour and will go back again as there is more to see and read. Altogether quite an ikoressive little museum.

I am struggling to see the point of this place. You get an electric iron beside an ancient bowl. I think they're trying to do their best but it's just sadly not that interesting. As there is nothing else to see in the town, you may as well pop in.

I visited on a wet day and it was nice to go somewhere interesting to learn more about the local area and dry out a little.
I was encouraged to check in using the Serco Track & Trace app. The museum is free to visit although you can make donations by cash and also contactless.
The museum has lots of different things to learn about if you are an adult or a child. I also enjoyed the Jacobean garden.
The museum is very user friendly for anyone whether they are able to use steps or not.
The second floor has more to explore and I was interested in the Addis collection. I never knew there were so many different toothbrushes!
There is a small area to buy gifts and the staff were all friendly and welcoming.

I love this museum. It's got a little shop and quite a lot of artifacts from Britain and the rest of the world. There's a hands on children's area to keep little ones busy.
My daughter likes to go there when in hertford and each time I see something I missed from a different visit. Recommend heading there if in Hertford Town.
