Saltash Heritage
Museum and Local History Centre |
Saltash Heritage was founded in
1986 to make a collection of items
relevant to the history of Saltash
and district, to promote local
interest in our historical heritage
and to provide a museum in the town.
The Local History Centre was
opened in July 1997 and the
Museum in July 2000.
Following a Heritage Lottery grant
in 2006 we have now formed an
archaeological group, running the
‘Tamarside Archaeological Survey’
