Title

Dunbar Town House, Museum and Gallery

Description

With its distinctive witch's hat tower and its bell, clock and sun dials the Town House has been the focus of Dunbar life since the 16th century. Our staff are always on hand to chat about the town and the history of the building. Take a guided tour to visit the council chamber – scene of the infamous witch trials – and the historic cell. The building is home to a museum and gallery with changing historical and art exhibitions.

GLOBAL CONNECTIONS

The guided tours will take you to the parts of the building that can’t always be accessed, including the magnificent Council Chamber, prison cells and to displays that celebrate Dunbar’s twin town connections in France and California.

ACTIVITIES

The building is accessible on all levels and is home to a museum and gallery with changing historical and art exhibitions as well as a local history display area and research room managed by Dunbar and District History Society.

Dunbar and District History Society members will be providing guided tours of the building. The tours will incorporate an audio-visual installation in the historic cells.
