Chepstow Museum reveals the rich and varied past of this ancient
town, once an important port and market centre. Wine trade, shipbuilding
and salmon fishing are among Chepstow's many industries featured
in displays with atmospheric settings. Photographs, programmes and
posters recall the pastimes of local people, while 18th and 19th
century paintings and prints illustrate the everlasting appeal of
Chepstow and the Wye Valley to artists and tourists alike. The museum
is just across the road from Chepstow Castle in an elegant 18th
century house built by a prosperous Chepstow merchant family.
