About the 'Road Through History' Exhibition Triology

The road - 'Watling Street' - has played a major role in the development of Towcester and has fulfilled many functions over the centuries, serving as a highway for military settlements, an 'international border' and a major coaching route.

By attending these exhibitions you will gain a deeper appreciation of the everyday experiences of people who lived in Towcester and understand how the town developed and evolved over the centuries.

The exhibitions will be enlived by demonstrations of local 'living history', 're-enactment groups' and our own tour guides.
