We were welcomed at the ticket desk by John (I think) who was a mine of information about the museum and the cordite factory. The rest of the museum was very informative about a bit of WW1 history I knew nothing about. There were interactive displays, artifacts from the period and masses of information in folders should you need it. The personal stories were the most poignant especially those about the train crash. Upstairs there was more about the area during WW2 and post war years.
We could easily spent longer there. As it was we were inside for nearly three hours!
Highly recommended.

It doesn’t look very large on the outside but the wealth of educational information inside is huge. There is a train outside you can sit in and an attached cafe that serves homemade baked goods. The museum is 2 floors and there is dioramas that showcase life during WWII. The museum discusses more than just the Gretna Factory. You learn about the hospital, the blackouts at night, the air raids and bombing, and the worst railroad train disaster. There is ALOT of reading but it is a kind-blowing experience. You walk away with a new appreciation of life and work ethnic.

We have passed this museum many times on our way to a holiday cottage, but never ventured in. We decided that it was time to look in. We were not disappointed. On our arrival to the pay desk, we were given an outline of the museum and what it stood for and the way round to go. It was one of the most interesting places I have been to in a long time, lots of interesting information as we went round, videos to watch, and if you had children there was a lot of interacting they could do, as well as dressing up, making for them a good way of learning. We went to visit the cafe afterwards, this we found to be very clean and well set out. My friend had a hot chocolate and as she put it the best slice of Victoria sandwich she has ever tasted, I had a tea and cheese scone, the only thing I would say that unfortunately the cheese scone was warmed up in the microwave, which was either on a too hot setting, or in for too long, I could not taste anything, maybe either ask if I wanted it heated, and if so, just warm. But on saying this, the staff were very nice.
I would certainly recommend the museum and the cafe

Extremely interesting museum about the importance of the ammunition factory at Gretna Green and the size of the factory, how quickly it was built and its importance to the British WW1 effort.

Very interesting experience of what could have been a quickly forgotten important service of world war Britain. The museum was very informative about the munitions factories but also the life of living in the area including RAF Annan and the evacuee children. Would definitely recommend this to anyone visiting nearby. There are also interactive displays for children.
Recommended time to spend here is 2-3 hours.

Thanks for your very positive review. It encapsulates common feedback themes of the importance of our area's contribution to both world wars and highlights the interesting, interactive nature of the exhibits.
Great stuff!

Very well worth a visit. I was astounded at what went on in the cause of peace. How those poor women coped is just unbelievable.

Thanks for highlighting the sacrifice of those brave munitions workers who worked in conditions we would not tolerate today to turn the tide of WW1.

Tiny museum and cafe which tells the story of the area's contribution to World War One and Two. The museum staff are great, very warm and welcoming and proud of their exhibit. They explain everything well. Great for kids as they can dress up and interact with the exhibits. Lots of interesting facts and in about the making of Devil's Porridge, the accommodation the women workers stayed in and the sacrifice they made during the war. Also touching is the memorial to the animals who gave service during the war ( shed a tear here). Well worth a visit to this superb little gem .

This museum was a lovely surprise en route to our holiday cottage. The staff were well informed and helpful. The exhibitions and displays were very informative. We came away learning about a piece of history we have previously been unaware of. Keep up the good work. The vintage car driving away was a sight to see. Highly recommend.

Wow what an amazing place this is. I found it a fantastic museum. Lots of hands on, brilliantly displayed information and videos. It had a real vibe and community feel about it. I think there was an older persons group in there doing art.
I enjoyed hearing about the history of the site and human aspect including the people who worked there.
I found the staff friendly.
The cafe was fantastic. Although small, all the food is prepared from scratch. I had soup and cake. When we were there another batch of soup was being prepared.
I really think this place is worth a visit.

Hi Janfal, thanks for your enquiry. The museum allows sight and hearing assistance dogs but I'm afraid pet dogs are not allowed in the building for health and safety reasons.
We have lots of grassed areas outside, with outside seating, and provide a water bowl for dogs.
Best wishes
