An interesting local museum covering the
history of Hythe, situated next to the
Town Council Offices in Oaklands. Access
(no stairs) is via the Public Library through
an entrance hall used as an arts / crafts
gallery.
The
fully registered Museum is in three rooms,
containing memorabilia depicting the
civic and social history
of the town, together with a reminder
of the importance of the Small Arms School
Corps,
which used to be stationed in the Town.
'The
Story of Hythe' is the latest addition
to the information on display. Enquires
on the Collections and on any aspect
of the local history can be left with
the Library staff, or the administrative
staff of Hythe Town Council.
There is also
a 'state-of-the-art' interactive multimedia
display showing old and new Visions of
Hythe.
Admission to the Local History Room is
free - the opening times are the same
as those of the Library.
