Doon Valley Museum
The Doon Valley Museum is located in a conversion of one of the oldest buildings in Dalmellington (dating from 1744). It was saved from demolition in the 1980s and now serves the community as a museum, art gallery and meeting place.
The museum room interprets the rich social and industrial history of the area, in particular the coal mines, the ironworks, and the communities that grew up alongside them. These are presented through a collection of photographs and artefacts donated by local people.
Two other exhibition galleries exhibit a wide range of exhibitions each year by professional and amateur artists.
The museum has a large collection of old photographs and maps that can be used by local and history researchers. Access is free and available during our normal opening hours. However, space is limited so please arrange your visit first using the contact details below.
