About this place
Family-friendly Hamilton museum tracing South Lanarkshire's history, housed in a former almshouse.
Housed in a former almshouse in Hamilton, this family-friendly museum traces South Lanarkshire's history from its earliest days through to more recent industrial and social change, using a genuinely wide range of objects and displays to keep the story engaging for younger visitors. Its setting within a historic building adds character beyond the exhibits themselves. It's a compact museum well suited to an hour or two rather than a full day. Entry is free, and the museum is fully indoors and largely accessible.
