| About Us The Museum The Museum is an independent organisation maintained by Mersea Island Museum Trust and run entirely by volunteers. It was founded in 1976 and is housed in a handsome building of local red brick donated to the people by Mr Stanley Hills, a local builder, and a small team of helpers. The Museum has been extended several times since 1976, the latest in 2010. Donations We depend on visitors, events, hiring of facilities and donations to meet our running costs. Donations are always welcome and help us to provide more services, both in the Museum and online.

Volunteers
Mersea Museum is run entirely by volunteers - and there is always room for more
help. Volunteers work as attendants looking after our visitors,
conserve artefacts, design and prepare exhibitions,
digitise photographs and documents for the
computers, look after the garden, help us raise money, and much much more.
Some come to the museum several times a week, some just when they know there is
a job to be done. It is a great way to get to know and be part of the local
community - and it is very rewarding to be involved.

members participate in regular draws for cash prizes.
There are currently 6 prizes of £40 each year.
