Welcome to our wee museum!

Between the 6th of April and the 23rd of October 2025 we are open every Wednesday and Sunday from 2-4pm. The entrance is free but donations are welcome.

In 2025 the museum is expanding! We are doubling our exhibition space by taking over the other half of the station building. Come and watch the progress. More info on our Exhibitions and Events page.

You can contact us via insch.museum@gmail.com or message us on our Facebook or LinkedIn pages.

Located in both the former ticket office and the former ladies' waiting room of Insch’s attractive working railway station, the Insch Connection Museum houses a treasure trove of information.

slide show

Displays give an overview of the history of Insch and district with photographs, artefacts and everyday stories of how life was lived in this area.

The railway connection includes a scale model of the station which shows Insch railway station in the days when the layout of tracks was complex, the railway station being of strategic importance to Insch and the farming communities.

As well as the railway model, a Victorian wedding dress and many other things to see, we have a selection of special exhibitions which change from time to time. You can find details of our special exhibitions on the  EXHIBITIONS AND EVENTS page.

Archive material about Insch and District is available for research;  material in store is readily accessible on request. Our computer database which uses MODES software is growing all the time, and can be searched in the museum free of charge.

The Museum is open on Wednesday and Sunday afternoons from 2 to 4pm from April to October. Arrangements can be made for groups and school parties at other times to suit, please email us to arrange.

The museum is accessible for wheelchairs most easily from the station car park via the ramp to the platform and then through the waiting room.
