Grace Darling Museum commemorates the life of Victorian Britain’s greatest heroine, who risked her life to rescue nine survivors from the wrecked SS Forfarshire on 7 September 1838. The Grace Darling Museum guides you through Grace’s upbringing and life in the lighthouse, the events of the rescue that propelled her into the limelight and her status as a national heroine. Learn about Grace’s story through her personal items, including letters, family portraits and the famous coble used in the rescue. And find yourself transported back to 1838 with their audio-visual tools and a stunning model of the Longstone lighthouse.
The museum was originally opened on this site in 1938 - and today it’s a stylish and environmentally friendly building that does justice to the displays, events and research that takes place here. The museum includes the famous rescue coble, Grace's dresses, letters and family belongings and a cornucopia of commemorative ware.
It's the perfect fun and educational family day out to learn something new and find out more about the amazing Grace Darling.
