Robert Owen Memorial Museum

Travel Information and nearby accommodation

Robert Owen was a successful industrialist, but more importantly, he was a social reformer whose ideas on the ethical treatment of workers scandalised his 19th century contemporaries. His idealistic model village at New Lanark earned him the title, "the father of socialism". Owen is buried in the churchyard of St. Mary's here in Newtown, but his life is preserved in this museum.
