Closed For Winter – Reopening 29th March 2024

The museum is now closed for winter and shall reopen on Good Friday 29 March 2024. The trustees would like to thank everyone who has supported us this year. Although we are now closed for public visits, the volunteers will be busy working on various museum projects over the winter. Please keep an eye on our website and social media channels to see what they are up to and for the latest museum news.

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.
