Uffington Museum occupies the old village schoolroom on Broad Street, an early 17th-century building that later became the setting for Thomas Hughes's Tom Brown's School Days. Its displays cover local history, the nearby Uffington White Horse, the legends of Wayland Smithy and St George and the Dragon, and a photograph collection that records village life from the late 1800s to today. Each year a temporary exhibition looks at one part of the area's story. Because the rooms are small, the visit suits children with an interest in history, stories and local legend rather than hands-on play, and it works well as a short add-on to a walk along the Ridgeway. Entry is free, with donations welcomed. The museum is run entirely by volunteers and opens at weekends and bank holidays through the summer months, so it is worth checking the calendar before travelling.
