Located in the heart of the town, adjoining the library, Immingham Museum is a small, independent museum with charitable status.  

This family friendly museum showcases the town’s local history with a range of exhibitions including: 

• Immingham’s connection the Mayflower Pilgrims and their dramatic escape from the shores of Immingham in 1608
• The history of Immingham Dock, which was opened by King George V in 1912 and how it has grown to the largest port by tonnage in the UK
• The influence of the Great Central Railway
• An extensive working model railway display on the first floor

Many of the displays feature memorabilia, photographs and documents along with room settings including the 1940’s, Victorian and Georgian and a grocery and chemist store.  There is a rolling programme of changing exhibitions each year. 

The museum is an accredited through Arts Council England’s Museum Accreditation, a national benchmark for museums. 

Entry is free of charge but donations are most welcome as the museum is run entirely by volunteers and through charitable donations. 

Accessibility: Whilst much of the museum is wheelchair accessible, regrettably the upper gallery is only accessible via stairs and no lift is available.  

Groups welcome by prior arrangement.  

Why not walk the Pilgrim Heritage Trail as part of your visit? The Trail starts at the museum and takes in the Pilgrim Memorial, St Andrew’s church and Mill Lane.
