FRIENDS OF THE WILLIS MUSEUM 

The 'Friends' was founded to promote, support, assist and improve The Willis Museum. We also support members & non members with local projects such as a book of local history or like interest. We have resources facilities for our members and museum staff, a collection of local maps, photographs & oral tapes of peoples memories.
