The Egham Museum is an independent community museum located in the Literary Institute in the High Street, fondly known as The Lit, built in the late 18th Century. Serving the communities of Egham, Egham Hythe, Englefield Green, Thorpe, and Virginia Water, we explore the history of the local area from its earliest settlers in the Neolithic and Bronze Ages to the present day. Our mission is to collect, preserve, and share the history of Egham and its surrounding areas, making it accessible to the local community and visitors alike. We do this through a variety of exhibitions, activities, and events that aim to engage and educate visitors about the rich history of the area.
