Visiting Shaftesbury? Do pop into our quirky museum and tranquil garden at the top of the famous 'Hovis' hill...Tweets from a volunteer steward

@SandDHSI I volunteered for a while at the museum and set up a twitter account but it never took off. Do you want to take over the name?

I'm not sure the museum is ready to embrace Twitter, so signing off xxx

RT @Donhead_Books: I think Zephyr is in slightly better shape http://t.co/tkxjSutx #mummifiedcat [Zephyr is her 20yr old Burmese]

So chuffed to find out that @Donhead_Books had visited and seen the mummified cat. I think @Sewit should also renew her acquaintanceship

RT @Donhead_Books: @GoldHillMuseum Any military history material there < fascinating film of US tanks on Shaftesbury High Street pre D-Day

RT @Donhead_Books: @GoldHillMuseum when mummified? Need to know if it's to be sticking with us a while < I'll give it a brush #mummifiedcat

The mummified cat in the museum certainly sticks in visitors minds! Friend took her nephews last week and that's all they've talked about.

@Donhead_Books @goldhillmuseum I first went to the museum when I was about 8 years old. It was there then and has stuck with me!

[Jill Pearce @Donheadjp]

@Sewit that might be a bit close to home - our blue Burmese is 20 - getting on for mummified! Sounds amazing nonetheless @GoldHillMuseum

[Gold Hill Museum @GoldHillMuseum]

RT @Sewit: @Donhead_Books @goldhillmuseum they have a mummified cat! < that should interest the Father IL

[Gold Hill Museum @GoldHillMuseum]

RT @Donhead_Books: I'd like to take father IL to @GoldHillMuseum on Sat what might interest him - he's 92 < I'm on duty from 1.30 on Sat!

[Gold Hill Museum @GoldHillMuseum]

RT @Donhead_Books: @GoldHillMuseum Your recent tweets have reminded me that I must visit the museum - it sounds most interesting.. < IT IS!

RT @WardourWill: @Sewit The torch bit seemed rather secondary to the police <- that's why best view was on Gold Hill! http://t.co/Gd6eXvbb

[Gold Hill Museum @GoldHillMuseum]

So glad @UpdownCottage liked this shot of torch on Gold Hill in front of the cottage - and thanks for the RT, Jane :-) http://t.co/SKfflW5w

[Gold Hill Museum @GoldHillMuseum]
