Support Us
Although the Museum is owned and run by a Charitable Trust, it depends on donations and the support it receives from its Friends. To make a donation please click on one of the Donate buttons opposite which will take you to our Donate via BACS or QR Code or to our JustGiving page.
You may become a ‘Friend’ for a year with a subscription of £10. This should be sent to our Hon. Treasurer at the Museum. Your subscription will help to run a valuable local resource and you will also be invited to various special events, such as previews of exhibitions, during each year. An occasional newsletter – Musenews – is published giving details of forthcoming exhibitions and events. To become a Friend of the museum please click on the Download Form button.
You can also give membership to friends and family. Pop into the Museum and ask for a Membership Gift Card to give one year’s membership subscription to someone and support your local museum.
Recent events have included a visit by HRH Prince Edward Duke of Kent, lectures by Matthew Pease, Tom Kitchin, Lord Wheatley and Sir George Reid, a Strawberry Tea and outings to Abbotsford, The Transport Museum, The Burns Museum at Alloway, the Scottish Parliament, the Japanese Gardens at Cowden and the V&A Museum in Dundee.
Supporting the Museum

From prehistoric times to the present day, artefacts, documents and photographs illustrate the history of Dollar.
Our 2024 Exhibition
From prehistoric times to the present day, artefacts, documents and photographs illustrate the history of Dollar.
Our theme this year is on Dollar Shops – past and present. We also have our popular working model of Dollar Railway Station and Mine showing some underground workings – a fabulous exhibit. Local artists’ work is also being exhibited and you can trace our local history from the earliest of times along our Dollar History Time-Line. There’s plenty for adults and children, and our shop is open too!
Prehistoric
Local finds from Bronze Age burials on loan from the National Museums of Scotland give an insight into early inhabitants of the Hillfoots.
