Rushden Museum is situated in the Hall Park, at the rear of the historic Rushden Hall, on the site of the old stable block next to the walled garden. With a different exhibition each year, the museum aims to portray all aspects of the social history of the town, by collecting and displaying pictures, maps, photographs and objects.

The museum has a collection of over 5,000 artefacts, including photographs, documents, and objects related to local industries, such as shoemaking, agriculture, and lace-making. The museum also has displays about local sports teams, schools, and notable individuals who have lived in the area. Rushden Museum is run by a team of volunteers and is open to the public free of charge. It provides a valuable resource for the community, preserving and sharing the local history and heritage for future generations to enjoy and learn from.
