THE SOCIETY
Wellington Local History and Museum Society is a registered charity run by a small team of dedicated volunteers and funded by membership subscriptions, donations, events and the sale of books, leaflets and souvenirs.
​
Our Work
Wellington Local History & Museum Society aims to promote knowledge about the history of this small Somerset town by organising talks and visits, running the Museum and publishing books on local topics.
​
In addition to its own events the Society hosts visits from schools and local community groups in the Museum and has a busy outreach programme presenting to local organisations.
