Town House Museum

The historic Dunbar Town House was built around the end of the 16th century. After 400 years of use it is now home to an archaeology and local history centre, as well as temporary exhibitions about Dunbar and district. Find out about the town and its people, past and present, from ten thousand years ago to the present day. 

A display of photographs of old Dunbar and its surrounding area, brought together by Dunbar and District History Society, gives a fascinating insight into the Royal Burgh's past.

Copies of local history documents are available for study, and members of the society are usually on hand to help you in your search.

Temporary exhibitions for 2007 include Park Life, a celebration of thirty years of John Muir Country Park; and Greetings from Dunbar a look at holidays in Dunbar through picture postcards and the messages written on them.
