Classification Museum

DescriptionThe displays illustrate the history and development of life in Montgomeryshire from the earliest prehistoric settlers to the 20th century population. Within the entrance hall to the museum the visitor is reminded of the initial purpose of the building as a warehouse. On the ground floor is an exhibition of agricultural tools, stock-farming implements and dairying equipment, which reflects the fundamental part played by farming in the growth of the economy and society of the area since the very earliest times. Also on show are collections depicting the development of the canal and the railway systems which have similarly had a tremendous effect on the character of the county
A display of old photographs and maps gives a picturesque introduction to Welshpool and Montgomeryshire. Through the second room on the ground floor, which has changing exhibitions, the visitor can use the stair or the lift to the first floor.
