Ramsey Rural Museum is a charitable incorporated organisation that is managed and maintained entirely by volunteers.
What will you find there? On site there are many areas showing a variety of machinery, implements and vehicles spanning 200 years of rural life.
Both the Chemist Shop and the Cobblers Shop were donated to the museum – the former had been owned by the Whitwell family of Peterborough and the latter from the Paul’s of Chatteris.
A history of the drainage of the Fens can be found in the Pump Room along with tools used for hedging, ditching and turfing.
