Title

Creetown Heritage Museum

Description

You’ll find Creetown Heritage Museum on the main street of Creetown, a village once known as ‘Ferrytown of Cree’ because ferries used to cross the River Cree here, right back to the days when pilgrims made their way to the shrine of St Ninian at Whithorn.

Creetown Heritage Museum has a large collection of old photographs alongside period artefacts telling the story of Creetown’s peoples and industry across the last 200 years. We have old ledgers and registers with records invaluable for genealogy/family tree research.
