Ramsey Rural Museum is housed in a variety of 18th Century farm buildings. The collections include a wide variety of agricultural implements and tools used by local craftsmen. There are many examples of well restored farm machinery.

The Kitchen and Washroom captures the atmosphere of a typical Fenland home in pre-electric days. The Whitehall Barn which was re-erected from a local farm, houses a number of carts and wagons.

An example of an old village store, a chemist shop and a cobbler's shop are among the many exhibits of items of rural bygones connected with social, domestic, craft, trade, industry and agriculture which preserve our rural history.

Reception Reception is in a thatched barn and to complete the tour of the museum this barn contains a tea room and souvenir shop. This section of the barn contains scales, grinders, and cake breakers. On the walls are some old carvings.
