The City Museum has been housed in the former Town Hall on Market Square since 1923. This regal sandstone ashlar building, fronted by a pediment and Tuscan portico, went up in the early 1780s. The museum will give you a crash course in Lancaster’s history, with the help of some sensational artefacts. One is the Lancaster Roman Tombstone, carved around 100 AD and unearthed during a routine excavation in 2005. This shows a Roman soldier on horseback over a decapitated enemy. The building also houses the King’s Own Royal Regiment Museum, tracing the regiment back to its foundation in 1680 and documenting the battles in fought in, with regalia, photos and weapons.

The City Museum is housed in Lancaster's former town hall, an elegant Georgian building constructed in 1781-3 to the designs of Major Thomas Jarrett and Thomas Harrison. The museum itself was founded in 1923 and its collections illustrate the history and archaeology of the city of Lancaster. It is also home to the King's Own Royal Regiment Museum.

This is a great museum that focuses on the history of the city. It is great for kids and often has a treasure hunt or other activities available for them. It is free to get in and will take a couple of hours to mooch around.

With free admission and located right in the heart of the city the museum is well worth a visit. Displays include exhibits from the Roman and Victorian eras.
