Museum of Farnham

The Museum of Farnham is located in Willmer House, an 18th-century town house completed in 1718 with a decorative brickwork façade on West Street in Farnham in Surrey. Events were held in 2018 by the museum to celebrate the 300th anniversary of the building. The Museum houses a collection of artefacts spanning several periods of the town's history and prehistory. Open from Monday to Saturday, there is no admission charge. The Museum has a Muniment Room available to researchers with its extensive collection of printed material relating to Farnham and the surrounding area.
