The museum opened on this site in 2014. It gives an insight into the huge explosives factory constructed from Eastriggs to Gretna and Longtown during the First World War. More recent displays look at the impact of the Second World War on the area, and bring the story right up to date with information about the now decommissioned Chapelhall Power Station.
