The charity is set up to provide a local history museum for the benefit of the Strathaven community and visitors. It has premises where themed exhibitions are presented. The premises are open Friday and Saturday 10am till 4pm and Sunday 1.30pm till 4pm. The exhibitions are changed regularly to keep the museum fresh. We host history lessons with local Scouts, Guides and primary schools who can show up with 30 to 35 people at a time. We encourage volunteer pupils from Strathaven Academy to join our sessions with the public to help them develop their own personal skills. We promote active participation to learn how people lived, so visitors learn simple weaving skills using a small handloom or are trained in using a spinning wheel. We hold fundraising events that are well supported, but cannot attend Christmas Fayres as we don't have the human resources to provide an encouraging stall.
