It is a very interesting place to visit. Even if is not a big museum you can learn a lot about the history of the Chesterfield. I like it. And another thing: Free entry.

Shows a good view of the history of Chesterfield with some interactive elements too! Very interesting! The only downside was the photography of chesterfield element upstairs, as 4 people working there asked me the same question on separate occasions - I wasn't left to just appreciate the photography (but you don't have to visit that part)

Lovely little museum got whiling away an hour, interesting displays chasing the history of Chesterfield plus an exhibition on coal mining in the area with exhibits which you could touch and explore. There was a winter craft section where you could awaken your inner child and craft away, child not required but bet they would have enjoyed it!

Great little museum, knowledgeable staff and fantastic introduction to the history of chesterfield. Beautiful building and right in the centre of town. About an hour to visit would be plenty.

This is a small but very interesting Museum with a human size hamster wheel saved from St. Mary's (Twisted Tower) Church which was used to lift all the materials up through the tower as it was built. Others displays give you a feel for the history of the town. It's located just behind the church so make sure that you don't miss it if you're in Chesterfield for the day.

Certainly worth a visit if you want to know some of the history of Chesterfield and its people. Don't expect to much though; it is a very small provincial museum.

Very happy to have been able to celebrate the African and Caribbean contribution to Chesterfield. I found out Mr. Redhead who is from Grenada 🇬🇩 made me so proud being Grenadian as well as well as to see such input from all over the Caribbean and Africa too. Really good to see such input but it also highlights that nothing much has changed towards people's behaviour towards blacks. Thanks to all the giants who have gone before me and have made my presence here in Chelsea a memorable one. Very proud Caribbean princess. ❤❤💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾❤❤

Been i the museum quite a few times it is great for local history, some of the artefacts are really interesting, but mainly the staff are exelent, always have time to talk & explain things to you, i recently went in to ask about a road name in chesterfield that i came accross in a book i had just read, i searched the town for this road but could not find it,,,,,, i went to the museum & one of the staff had read the same book & was able to explain to me that the said road did not exist any more & was now Lordsmill St,,, so they can help with most things,,, thank you,,,
