It has some information about witch trials, curses, old wives tales, herbal healing, and things like that. I really had no idea what I might find, but I heard so many intriguing things that I had to check it out. It's good that a place like this exists, but I think it just scratches the surface and appeals to the curious drive bys rather than people who are into witchcraft and magic. That said, they have an altar there that has some really great energy in it. Check that out if you are in the area.

The museum is situated on Fore St and I must warn you it is about half way up quite a steep hill! A room is dedicated to Charles Babbage, probably the most famous person from Totnes.
