No visit to Ashburton
would be complete without a visit to the Town's Museum.
Originally started in a private house, it moved to the
tower of St Lawrence Chapel
and, when it outgrew that, in 1962, to the old blacksmith's
shop behind the chapel (part of the old grammar school
site). By 1968 it moved again to its present site in
the centre of Ashburton (next door to Lloyds Bank) in
a building which was once a brush factory.
It houses a unique collection, which, in addition to
items of local interest, includes a large collection
of North American Indian artifacts.
Ashburton Museum is now a fully registered museum officially recognised by the Museums and Galleries Commission and is kept and run by the Hon Curator Mr David Anstiss.
