Towcester Museum comes to life through three interactive exhibitions sponsored by the Heritage Lottery Fund taking you on a ‘journey through time’ spanning 5,000 years of Towcester’s history. Watling Street has played a major role in the development of Towcester and has fulfilled many functions over the centuries, serving as a highway for military settlements, an ‘international border’ and a major coaching route. By visiting these exhibitions you will gain a deeper appreciation of the everyday experiences of people who lived in Towcester and understand how the town developed and evolved over the centuries.
