Since 1856 Hawick Museum collection has been the gathering place for items that shed light on the history of the town and its people.
After its first 50 years the collection was given by its founders, Hawick Archaeological Society, to Hawick Town Council. A fine mansion house was refurbished to show the collection – the present-day Hawick Museum.
