Portland Museum, located on the Isle of Portland in Dorset, was established in the 19th century and is housed in a building that was originally a school. It is important as a local heritage site for preserving the history of the island, including its maritime, military, and geological past, and is connected to figures such as Sir Joseph Porter, a former mayor of Portland who contributed to its development.
