The Hythe Museum is based within the Town Council house, a former Doctor’s home and surgery adjacent to the Royal Military Canal, which can be accessed via the local library. Visitors can view its collection where you can learn more about the history of the area, from Roman times and then as a Cinque Port, with maps, furniture, costumes, military equipment (linked to the Small Arms School of Musketry in Hythe for over 100 years before it was moved to Warminster), commercial, civic and social objects. Part of the Wheel of Time scheme for younger visitors.
