Frome Museum is a small, volunteer-run local history museum in the centre of Frome, Somerset. Its displays trace the town and surrounding villages across roughly fifteen centuries, with galleries on the wool and cloth industries, the Singer foundry, printing, the First and Second World Wars, and the geology under the town. Admission is free and no booking is needed for a casual visit, which suits families looking for a rainy-afternoon outing with older children who enjoy objects, old photographs and local stories. The museum also welcomes school groups and youth organisations, offering a heritage walk around the town with worksheets, themed talks using original artefacts, and volunteer visits to schools. The building is listed and has steps between galleries, so it may not suit every visitor, and it has no café of its own.
