Southwold Museum and Historical Society
Southwold’s unique cottage museum is dedicated to the local and natural history of this corner of Suffolk. Owned and managed by the Southwold Museum and Historical Society, this tiny building houses an astonishing collection of objects, paintings, photographs, models and wildlife exhibits.
The whole span of history is here, from fossil remains through the Viking occupation, sea battles, the development of the town’s architecture, its industries and artistic life, the rise and fall of its railway, its famous land-locked lighthouse, its ever-changing coastline … to the 20th century transformation of this busy fishing community into a prosperous seaside resort.
