Harborough Museum

About

Welcome to Harborough Museum, where history comes alive! This award-winning museum invites you to explore the fascinating mysteries of the Iron-Age Hallaton Treasure, alongside the rich tapestry of Harborough's history. From the remarkable Symington fashion collection to the stories of local light entertainer Ernest Elliott, every corner of the museum offers a glimpse into the past.

At the heart of the museum lies the Hallaton Treasure, a remarkable find from 2000 that includes over 5,000 coins and a Roman Cavalry helmet. These treasures reveal the stories of Iron-Age Harborough, making it a must-see for history enthusiasts and curious visitors alike.

As you wander through our displays, you'll uncover tales of an eccentric innkeeper, cursed shoes, and the home-grown industries that shaped our community. The museum is not just a place to view artifacts; it's a journey through time that connects you to the local heritage.

Housed in the historic Symington Building, once part of an internationally successful business, the museum itself is a piece of history. Join us for a visit and immerse yourself in the stories that make Harborough unique!
