Chesterfield has it's very own Museum situated next to the Pomegranate Theatre in the Town centre.

The museum follows the story of Chesterfield from its origin as a Roman fort to the present day. It is located in the Stephenson Memorial Hall, built in 1879 as a mechanics institute, and named in honour of the town's most famous Victorian resident, railway pioneer George Stephenson.

The museum opened in 1994 and is the first public museum in the town - a suprising fact considering Chesterfield's long and important history as a midlands market town and industrial centre.

Throughout the year the museum mounts several interesting exibitions focusing on both local and worldwide subjects.

The final exhibition for this year (2006) is begins on 24th November - entitled Staveley, our native town. The exhibition focuses on the history of Staveley and Staveley people and is being held in conjunction with Staveley Neighbourhood Management.
