The fascinating history of mining and life in the Somerset coalfields are reflected in many of the museum exhibits.  Other aspects of local history on exhibit include a 19th Century school room, a forge, carpenter’s shop and agricultural implements.  Also on display are memorabilia relating to the Somerset Coal Canal and the two railways (Somerset and Dorset and Great Western Railways).
