We're excited to share with you a new exhibition we have showing some of the artifacts celebrating the life of John Knox house since it opened as a museum in the 1850's. The very first guest book dating back to 1850, and the collection of postcards (The Knox Series) from around 100 years ago.

We recently obtained postcards picturing the inside John Knox House from over 100 years ago. Known as the Knox Series by William Hay- curator of John Knox house for around 40 years from 1903. He had a book shop in the same spot we have a book shop. We hope to display the postcards soon.
