The Museum, in its picturesque setting close to Ely on the River Lark, holds a unique collection of large working diesel engines that played a vital part in maintaining the drainage of the once uninhabitable fens nearby.
Displays or artefacts, photographs and interactive media illustrate the story of fen drainage and the social history of the local area.
The highlight of a visit can be seeing and hearing one of the old engines in action and talking to engineers who have worked with the engines.
