Soham Museum has an almost unrilvalled reputation for delivering high quality outreach experiences.  Our subgroups give members of the public a variety of opportunities to get involved in local history.  Whether you are a local person with an interest in your own heritage, an armchair historian, a history buff, or just want to get to know Soham a bit better, we offer you a range of exciting ways to get involved in our local history.
