BICENTENNIAL MUSEUM
 
 
The Museum is not only the Stone Cottage, behind the Cottage is a collection of over 7000 photographs, 10,000+ family names and is housed on site in the purpose built Museum building built as a Bicentenial project in 1988. Eventually the photographs, family histories and phyical objects will be digitized and transferred to our computers. Photocopies can be made or photographic copies can be arranged (cost on application).

Newspaper cuttings and a variety of documents are stored in filing cabinets with the material in cardboard wallets alphabetically arranged for easy access and dealing with people, buildings, organizations and subjects like fishing, shipping, sport etc. Maps, plans, posters etc. are stored flat in large drawers.

The Research Library includes books on Genealogy, Local History, Church, Scottish and Irish History, Photography, Costumes, Bottles etc. together with Newsletters and Literature from many Government Departments and Local and Family History Societies.
