About Us
 In the early
1990s, as a result of an initiative of the Calne Town Council and the
Calne Project, a working party was set up to pursue the aim of establishing
a heritage centre in Calne. Its first achievement was to mount an
exhibition in 1992 called 'A Taste of Harris' covering the history of the
Harris bacon industry in Calne. It was a great success and some of
the material is now on display in the Centre.
For
10 years, the working party sought to find suitable premises for the
Centre eventually settling on an arrangement with the Calne Town Council
to lease the Carnegie Building, the former site of the town's library
until the new building was opened in 2001.
The
Centre has been created and is managed by the voluntary work of the
Trustees and is staffed by volunteers provided by the Friends of the
Centre.
