The Palmer Room is dedicated to the museum's founder Mervyn Grove Palmer and contains items from Africa & South America. Including an 18' python and crocodiles.

The Maritime Room  contains a sea water tank in the summer with crabs,shrimps and anenomes.
The ship to shore radio station is popular with children and grandfathers who can still remember their morse code.
There are paintings of Ilfracombe over the last 200 years and a variety of model ships including the Titanic.

The museum is much easier to visit than to describe. A cross between an Edwardian collector's study and your Granny's attic. Objects you have read about and some you remember from days gone by.
Lots of Archives to research including World War one family history photos.
Gravestone index and census information.
