Creetown Heritage Museum
Exhibition of Creetown past and present, shown through a large collection of historical photographs, artefacts, audio and video presentations and hands-on activities. The displays include origins of a coastal-trading village; war-time memorabilia; village institutions e.g school, churches, silver band, sport, dramatic society; the granite quarries; Wigtown Bay Nature Reserve; work of local artists and craftsmen. The village's connection with the making of the film "The Wicker Man" includes an impressive 12 foot high model of the Wicker Man itself. There is also a "guess what" table to test your memory and activities to suit children of different ages.
Visitors describe it as a "really interesting place to visit"!
