The Fife Folk Museum Trust is the charity (SC020920) that operates the Fife Folk Museum in the historic and picturesque village of Ceres in Fife. The Museum, which was founded in 1968, is fully accredited and has a varied collection of artefacts, photographs and documents describing the history of everyday rural life in Fife, and the background of Fife’s culture and industries. It is housed in a range of buildings, and has recently opened a new visitor centre that provides meeting space, houses the shop and hosts an independently run café.
