Nantwich Museum has received a £500 donation to help support its work to preserve and celebrate the town’s unique history.
The funds from David Wilson will go towards the day-to-day running costs of the Pillory Street venue, which has been open for more than 40 years.
The museum now houses a collection of more than 5,000 artefacts that showcase the heritage of the town, from its importance as a salt-making centre to its pivotal role in the English Civil War.
Future plans at the museum include updating collection management systems and exploring new technology, such as 3D printing, to create replica artefacts that enhance the visitor experience.
Kate Dobson, manager of Nantwich Museum, said: “This generous donation from David Wilson Homes will make a real difference to our work.
“We are dedicated to making Nantwich’s history accessible to everyone and to inspiring future generations.
“By investing in new technology and improving our facilities, we can offer even more engaging experiences to visitors and school groups.
“Our funding is always tight, so support from local businesses like David Wilson Homes is invaluable.
“It helps us remain free to the public, open five days a week, and able to provide a wide variety of exhibitions and activities.”
Almost 3,000 schoolchildren visit the museum each year and, with more than 100 volunteers, it also acts as a community hub by hosting events, supporting groups, and contributing to Nantwich’s tourism economy.
