The museum holds notable collections demonstrating the history of cricket ball making, tanning as well as archaeology and an extensive archive of local information.
The museum is also notable as the home of a needlework box made by a German POW during World War Two.
Run mainly by local volunteers, the museum is home to collections that cover a range of topics on the Eden Valley from its early origins to recent times.
These permanent displays, describing the topography, people, communities and trades are spread over several rooms and are updated regularly.
The museum has one of the most extensive collections of material relating to Whitmore's Tannery, historically the biggest employer in Edenbridge until its closure in 1974.
