Introduction The Priest's House Museum & Garden is located in the heart of the beautiful market town of Wimborne Minster. Using collections rich in archaeology and costume, and childhood and local history material, the museum tells the story of East Dorset. Period rooms, from a 17th century hall to the working Victorian kitchen, show how life and work has changed in this historic townhouse. Displays include audio descriptions and children's activities. A beautiful walled garden, gift shop and tearoom complete any visit. The museum works closely with the local community. They participate in the museum through volunteering, learning and family activity programmes, exhibitions, community projects and reminiscence workshops.
