Visit our Museum
A Tribute to Our Heroes
Our museum features a growing private collection of exhibits and is dedicated to preserving and celebrating the lives of the British and American servicemen and women stationed in North East Essex during World War II. Our museum is a tribute to their courage, sacrifice, and the lasting impact they had on this region.
Whether you have a personal connection—perhaps a relative who served here—or have a passion for history, you will find something fascinating within our collection.
