Crossmichael Heritage Centre & Living History Project
Crossmichael has a long and fascinating history: Stone, Bronze and Iron Ages, Romans, Vikings, even Templar Knights - we have seen them all!
Crossmichael Heritage Centre is located in the Church Hall and the Old Hearse Hoose, both situated close to the village church. The main collections of material are held in the Church Hall and there is a smaller ‘taster’ exhibition in the Hearse Hoose, including a Crossmichael ‘time-line’.
The Heritage Centre opened in 2019 and was the outcome of the Crossmichael Community Heritage and Living History Project, funded initially by grants from the Galloway Glens Landscape Partnership and LEADER. These paid for assembly of displays, for other exhibition, research and archival infrastructure, and for comprehensive renovation of the Hearse Hoose.
