The 48th Highlanders Museum is a non-profit organization operated by a committee that maintains a portion of the Regiment’s Collection of historic artefacts on behalf of the 48th Highlanders Trust.
The Museum was formed in 1959 at the Old Comrades Association then at 519 Church Street. The museum moved to its present location and was officially opened by HM Queen Elizabeth II on 29 June 1997. The 48th Highlanders Museum is staffed by volunteers (most are former members of the Regiment) who serve in a variety of roles under the direction of the Museum Committee.
