😠 Why mix current politics & current schools activities with history? These exhibitions of political figures and schools are sub-standard and not relevant at all to the history of this building! The actual history is "pushed" out of this museum. I am sure if we visit again in a few years there will be... People often mention history,

    Why mix current politics & current schools activities with history? These exhibitions of political figures and schools are sub-standard and not relevant at all to the history of this building! The actual history is "pushed" out of this museum. I am sure if we visit again in a few years there will be only one room with a few actual history items and stories left! Very disappointing. To put a placcard of current political figures IN BETWEEN history items in a room is a DISGRACE and shows a total disrespect for the history of the other items in the same room.

    The museum was recently refurbished, but it still feels like a museum. There is a wing dedicated to the Craddock four.

    Closed on a Saturday over the Easter long weekend when tourist visit Cradock. Very disappointing. We were so looking forward to seeing the history of the area. Surely it should be open for tourism to flourish?
