Map of Erewash Museum (this map will open in a new window)
Erewash Museum is Erewash Borough Council's very own local and social history museum located at
High Street, Ilkeston. Home for the Museum is a late Georgian house with Victorian extensions.
It was both a family home and school accommodation before becoming a Museum in the 1980's.
Many original features survive and visitors can enjoy the garden with unrivalled views across
the Erewash Valley.
Edwardian kitchen and wash-house and an exhibition of children's toys are on show. Other
displays help to tell the story of the unique history of the Erewash area, including the
important local industries of coal mining, textile and iron manufacture.
The exhibitions in the gallery change regularly and include local artists, crafts and
history. A lively events programme runs throughout the Summer on Saturdays and Bank Holidays.
Most events include displays, demonstrations and the chance to have a go! To find out what's
