We had the pleasure of the Chair of the Museum, Bill Skelly QPM, with us in Okehampton last week. Bill was keen we get word out about all the good stuff we have going on. Drop us a line on Messenger or at [email protected] if you'd like to visit...

Our volunteer Simon Dell MBE QCB has been busy at our Tavistock mini museum. We have a height chart which shows how tall a PC George Tarr was. Simon has set a shelf with a mannequin head and helmet to show exactly how tall he was (try not to get a crick in your neck looking up!). Looks great Simon 👍😊.

It's 'Volunteers Week' and we couldn't let it pass without celebrating our fabulous volunteers. We'll need some more photos as we haven't managed to get them all here. Maybe on our next 'get together' we'll manage to gather them all.
However, we must also celebrate our Trustees and Patron who volunteer their time helping the Museum move forward.

A big THANK YOU to all, we couldn't do it without you!🥰
