Towcester Museum & Visitor Centre — Attraction in Towcester

Hi, the team of volunteers at towcester museum have really excelled them selves in putting on an excellent ww1 display, they have gathered local stories of soldiers of the town and told there stories, display of trench art she'll cases etc, there is also a brilliant large cabinet display of the trenches, who ever made this was truly a perfectionist as the details are brilliant. The volunteer soldier we spoke to told of the shoe repair work that also had to be done whilst the fighting ect was taking place, the whole afternoon was so nice and interesting, the staff made everyone so welcome for such an important day.
