We are an independent museum set in a peaceful rural location on the edge of the market town of Ramsey in Cambridgeshire.
Fascinating displays of historical objects, events, talks, kids activities, guided tours, the Ramsey area archives, home-made cakes and much, much more – all here at Ramsey Rural Museum.

Make a Donation
We need over £20,000 every year just to be able to open the doors. Add the costs of site maintenance and repair, conservation work and the provision of services to schools and the community and we have doubled the amount needed.
