More information on Cambridge and County Folk Museum

Trace local life back through the ages in the rooms of this humble museum, formerly the White Horse Inn. Each room's display is based on a theme, for instance, local industries, toys through the ages or old kitchen utensils. Great fun can be had guessing the objects' original uses, try witch bottles and eel traps for starters. Temporary exhibitions study particular aspects of Cambridge life. Children can complete the worksheet quiz with enthusiasm, while the grown-ups relive their youth. There's a gift shop, limited wheelchair access and a Braille and tape guide.
