We are in the heart of rural Suffolk, recording and preserving the history of Saxmundham, Kelsale-cum-Carlton and Benhall.
Open – April to September, 10:00am to 1:00pm, Monday to Saturday including Bank Holidays (except Good Friday).
Admission is free, but please make a donation if you’ve enjoyed your visit.
All donations go directly towards the upkeep of the Museum, buying artefacts and making improvements. We don’t have any paid staff.
We have new displays for 2017.
Sternfield House has had an interesting past, actively used during wartime as a research base and as the site of a gun battery protecting the coast during WWII. It also has had strong ties to the Royal Family in the past.
'Saxmundham's lost pubs' gives an insight into where the buildings were, what they were like and why some of them closed. You can also read about the Murder at the Bottle & Glass!
The Schools display remains for 2017.
Come and visit us soon!
Thank you if you came to see us during the 2016 season. We had over 2000 visitors.
