Museum Description


12th century Lostwithiel was an important town and major port, becoming the capital of Cornwall in the 13th century.  Today's fully accredited museum is a registered charity run by volunteers.  Housed in a Georgian building, it aims to record, preserve and stimulate interest in local social and economic history by a varied display of objects, documets and photographs.  A reference section focuses on the town's development and family histories.
