Activities
For Doors Open Days in 2019, volunteers and staff from the museum will be offering free guided tours of Eastriggs, the Commonwealth village, which was built in 1915 to house the workers. The streets were named after the places that people came from in the Commonwealth such as Delhi Road, Vancouver Avenue and the Ridge. Visitors will see things such hostels, houses and tennis courts and hear about the people who lived there and see photographs of what these places looked like one hundred years ago. These tours will be given free of charge.
The Museum will be open (normal admission charges apply) but the tours of Eastriggs will be on offer free of charge.
