Wincanton Museum is a small local museum, originally located in the High Street and then in the Wincanton Library, Wincanton, Somerset, England.

It was housed in a late 18th or early 19th century, Grade II listed cottage[1] which is owned by the Quakers.[2]

The Museum had a collection of artifacts, documents, posters and photographs related to the social history of Wincanton and the surrounding district. There was also a replica of a Victorian kitchen and a collection of 19th and 20th century farm implements.[3] A separate room was devoted to World War I and World War II when American soldiers were stationed in the town prior to the D Day landings.[4]

The museum closed in 2009, due to increased rents and the need for renovations to the building, reopened in the original space in 2010,[2] and closed again in 2011. In 2012, the museum moved into the Wincanton Library with a smaller collection.[5]
