Chesham Museum

Chesham Museum was founded in 2004. It is a community organisation, conceived and run by local volunteers, with funding mainly through the efforts of its supporters with the support of local businesses, schools and the wider population. In early 2024 the museum re-opened in a new, accessible, exhibition space in Chesham Town Hall. The museum aims to educate visitors about the rich history of Chesham and its past inhabitants. With a collection primarily dealing with things that are associated with Chesham, but also the outer-lying areas: Asheridge, Ashley Green, Ballinger, Bellingdon, Chartridge, Hyde Heath, Latimer, Lee Common and Ley Hill. We offers insights into a unique history of social reform and industry in Buckinghamshire, the fourth largest town.
