A small museum beautifully presented and run by the locals. Features the history of Topsham with regular guest exhibits
A quaint little museum, detailing the history of our stunningly unique home town. Situated a matter metres down the road… a fantastic place to visit. You can even enjoy a glorious Devon Cream tea in the gorgeous walled garden.
Topsham museum is only open in the summer months, and is run entirely by volunteers. Head here to learn about the fascinating history of the Dutch port town Topsham. There’s an excellent cafe too! Top tip: Topsham museum has a small but beautiful garden that is always open to the public. It’s a great spot to sit on the bench and watch sunset from.
"A quick drive or 15-minute train ride from Exeter Central station, the Topsham Museum is one of a row of 17th-century merchants’ houses by the Exe. Thanks to its location at a sheltered spot at the head of the estuary, Topsham once had shipbuilding docks that assembled early-19th-century warships like HMS Terror and HMS Cyan, and there are exhibitions about this heritage. The museum has a collection of much smaller vessels that used to travel on the Exe, while a number of rooms have been furnished in a period style. An unexpected treat is the set of memorabilia for the film star Vivien Leigh, including a dress she wore as Scarlett O’Hara in Gone with the Wind."
