Background
History
The Garioch Heritage Society was established in 1987. The museum was opened in October 2017 in a former Inverurie Locomotive Works building, which closed in 1969. In 2018, the project was awarded "Best Creative re-use of an Industrial Building" by the Association for Industrial Archaeology. In March 2021, the society acquired the land on which the centre is located following a grant from the Scottish Land Fund.
