Dawlish Museum will be opening to the public on Wednesday, July 21, for the first time since September 2019.
Since lockdown restrictions eased, the volunteers have been working to spring-clean and complete the displays.
New this year is a full room display called 'The Story of Dawlish Warren' which looks at the story of how a tiny hamlet with its tavern in the sand dunes evolved into the major tourist destination it is today.
With 11 rooms over three floors, the museum houses a vast collection of local pottery and glassware, toys, historical maps and photographs, plus railway memorabilia from Brunel to the present day.
It is home to the D-Day bagpipes and pays tribute to Piper Bill Millin.
The museum will be open from Wednesday to Saturday, 11am to 3pm from July 21 until September 5.
The museum would like to hear from anyone interested in volunteering there – the team are are always looking for people who can spare around four hours per fortnight. They say it's fun and you meet lots of interesting people. Anyone who would like to get involved can call them on 01626 888557 and leave a message, contact their Facebook page or email them at info @dawlishmuseum.co.uk.
