Welcome to Dalbeattie Museum

Winners Of The Queens Award For Voluntary Services 2009

2010 Season Begins 2nd April

Although we have been established for almost 20 years now this is the first  year of having a website of our own. We hope you will enjoy visiting this site on a regular basis. The feedback that we have had has been very positive!

We will give you information and stories of local interest as they occur and news of the progress we hope to make in the coming years.

This unique little museum gives a great insight as to what has happened in the past and what we hope to achieve in the future.

Dalbeattie Museum has preserved Dalbeattie's heritage.
In the Museum you can see a variety of Exhibitions of Social History.

Dalbeattie was at one time in the early 1800's a very Industrious town. It has a harbour uniquely  5 miles in land from the sea and this granite town once had over 12 different types of Mill, mostly powered by the Barr burn.

In the Museum can be found records, pictures, displays and our photographic collection is extensive and free for you to browse!

Census dating back to the 1841 is available for you to source past family members!
