The Society’s main purposes are to hold Talks/presentations for members and others who may be interested, and looking after a local Museum which is open to the public. The presentations are held monthly September to May and the Museum is open for two hours daily Wednesday to Saturday. This is looked after by volunteers, some of whom are members and others who choose not to be. In addition, our museum is open by appointment particularly for overseas researchers and group visits. Overseas visitors, with earlier generations with links to the area, are often keen to identify where their forebears lived. In addition local, national and international genealogy research enquiries are often received and we do our best to provide assistance relating to local connections within the Society’s district. Group visits are often arranged with local Primary Schools and Stewarton Academy as well as with organisations like the Boys Brigade or Girl Guides.

Objectives: To promote and encourage general interest in the study and knowledge of history in the District, Parish and Town of Stewarton by obtaining and recording details of Stewarton and District past and present. collecting and preserving historical artefacts and exhibiting our collection to the public thereby providing advancement of education, community development and heritage.
