The latest arrival at the museum is a small
pillbox or observation post which likely dates from the Second World War. We
know very little about it at the moment, so look out for more information on
this exciting new object in the future.
The pillbox was kindly donated by Airbus
who also arranged and paid for its transportation from their Hawarden airfield.
If you have any information about this
structure and how it was used feel free to let the Museum Officer know!
Work on interpretation has yet to begin.
However the museum team is confident this object will make a great addition to
the collection.
Events
Temporary exhibitions:
We run a programme of temporary
exhibitions throughout the year, highlighting topical events and showcasing
items from our collection.
Later this year look out for a
D-Day related display and looking ahead to 2010 a brand new exhibition
provisionally titled ‘The Horse at War'.
Heritage Open Days:
Heritage Open Days celebrate free public
access to the widest range of buildings, both historic and contemporary, across
Britain.
The Cheshire Military Museum
is getting involved by offering guided tours of the early 19th century barracks
and museum. Fragments of medieval frescoes can be seen in the Agricola Tower
of the old Castle.
The Cheshire
Military Museum
hopes to be involved in this year's Big Draw event (TBC). We plan to invite children to come to the museum and
take part in a fun activity where they will learn about the past through the
creative medium of drawing.
