Wrexham County Borough Museum & Archives — Attraction in Offa

A modest little museum detailing Wrexham's earliest beginnings to it's importance in medieval times being on the borderlands with information on the former ancient Holt castle (long lost to time) right through to Wrexham's more famed industrial past.

I especially liked the cinema corner where it showcased 3 different films on Wrexham's history from the proud mining heritage in the nearby former coal district, the football club and the Racecourse's important place in Welsh football and lastly a film looking at the history behind Wrexham's famous larger which has been brought back into production in more recent years.

The museum is all on one floor so it won't take too long to explore, there is also an exhibition area which at the moment is centered on Welsh football. Most of the displays seem child friendly for young curious minds and a few are interactive. There is also a cafe opposite the entrance and front desk but I didn't use it.

Well worth a look in if in town and have a little time to spare. Proud to be a son of Wrexham...

It has a children's room, cafe and toilets. Some rooms are a little dark and make it difficult to photograph...
