What the charity exists to do
Cupar Heritage is the local history society for Cupar and the surrounding area. We are a successor to an unincorporated association that existed for similar purposes. Our remit agreed by our membership is to operate a seasonal museum to collect, conserve and display objects that tell the history of the town of Cupar and the surrounding area. In addition , we organise a programme of talks on heritage matters for the interest of our membership and visitors. Our volunteers answer enquiries about the area's local history submitted by visitors and contacts from overseas.
