Interesting little local museum with a pleasant small knot garden, lots of local exhibits about the town and its residents, well worth an hour or two

Free to enter and bunged full of weird and wonderful artefacts as well as classic local history, this place is a wee gem. I strongly suggest making an hour or more to stroll around gaping at the displays and reading the info. Although it's no Science Museum, there are some interactive exhibits too to keep small people amused. Shame there is no cafe but it's in a wonderful setting with teas and coffees in the town centre close by.

A compact but perfectly formed museum. They have regular temporary exhibitions ranging from one about the local postal service to one on Kitsch. Good permanent exhibitions, including one on toothbrushes which used to be manufactured in Hertford. I loved looking at the display on 20th century artifacts and reminiscing about my youth!!! And all for free. Well worth a visit.

Hertford Museum needs an evangelist; it's way under-rated! The very fact that the museum exists should be celebrated. Hope this stays open for years and years to come.

Loved my visit with my client to this great little museum. I learned a lot from all the articles and exhibits, but also from my client as it really fuelled his memory of his wartime youth. Staff are lovely - very friendly and helpful. A great find.

I took my eight year old grandson. He loved it as did I. There is so much to see in such a small space. The only complaint is that it was far too overheated and it was this that drove us out before we had really seen everything.

We went to this museum as we live in the town, but didn't know that much about the town's history. The museum is well worth a visit. There is plenty to see and according to museum staff, only a fraction of their collection is on display at any one time. That's quite impressive as there is a lot on display already.
It's an attraction that's good for people with kids as well, as they can learn about Hertford's history in relation to the 2nd World War and prior.
The staff sometimes dress up in historical clothing to bring history to life, which makes it more interesting for children.

I've recently moved to Hertford and I found this little museum by chance. It's great! It's free to get in. And, it is stuffed full of the most interesting information about Hertford and local and global artefacts. I took a score off as it was baking. But otherwise I strongly recommend and I'll be going back when the weather is cooler.

What a lovely little Museum - great Victorian - era taxidermy- including a Platypus - through to a beautiful little courtyard garden that showcases a 1577 garden design. Clean toilets a bonus too.

I dropped in with my 7 year old and he found enough to entertain him for an hour. We undertook the task sheet available at the front desk to guide us around the museum in search of answers to questions. This added structure to our visit and made it very engaging.

My daughters and I visited the Hertford Museum on March 16, 2017. We visited Hertford because the co-founder of Hartford, CT,, where we live, Samuel Stone, was raised there. The museum provided a nice history of the market town, with many fascinating displays detailing the various periods of the towns development. The museum staff was very friendly and provided a free town map with recommendations of what to see and do. The museum is small and can easily be seen in less than an hour. I highly recommend a visit!
