Daventry Museum used to be housed in the Moot Hall on the Market Square. It contained permanent exhibitions about life in the Daventry district together with a programme of temporary exhibitions.
It closed on the 31st March 2004 and its collection went into storage.
Much of the collection has now been taken over by Daventry Town Council and they have opened a small museum which opens on the first Saturday of each month from 10am to 1pm in the Council Chamber of Daventry Town Council offices at 3 New Street, Daventry. There are different exhibitions every 2 - 3 months.
It is staffed by volunteers and if you would be interested in offering your services please contact us and we will put you in touch.
The Friends of Daventry Museum will also be supporting other community museum and archive projects in the Daventry District which may take other artefacts from the collection.
