At Stevenage Museum you can find out the complete story of Stevenage, from the Stone Age right up to the present day. There is plenty to do for all ages, children or adults. There is plenty to see, from a Vincent motorbike to a Roman coin hoard. Locals can find their own house, the local pub or their school in old photographs of the town.

The Museum has films covering Stevenage from Roman times right up to the New Town and recordings of memories of Stevenage in days gone by. Visitors can travel back into Stevenage's past with Sam and his magic mirror, try out the computer quizzes or try on some Victorian costumes.
