Heritage Museum
The museum aims to preserve and share the rural heritage of the North East of Scotland and of the Alford and Donside area in particular. It is housed in the old market building (The Mart), whose sale ring is still intact, and it has an extensive collection of exhibits relating to farming and rural life. Other exciting features of the Museum include the Old Schoolroom, Farmhouse Kitchen, Souter’s Workshop, Tailor’s Shop and Old-style Grocer’s Shop.
Our Sponsors
The museum is incredibly grateful for the support of our 2023 sponsors Boghead Holiday Cottages, Hudsons Catering and Repro Overflow. Please see Sponsorship for more information.
