The latest museums to open will be the Jackfield Tile Museum and The Iron Bridge Toll House - both this month.
The tile museum will initially be open at weekends only, and must be pre-booked.
The toll house will be open for visits seven days a week.
A spokeswoman for the trust said: “We’re delighted to announce that two more sites at Ironbridge Gorge will reopen this month: Jackfield Tile Museum and the Iron Bridge Toll House.
“Initially, visits to the Tile Museum will be pre-bookable and available at weekends only, starting Saturday 27 and Sunday 28 June, from 10am to 3pm (site closes at 4pm).
“Visits will include an introductory talk, followed by free-flow access through the exhibits.
“Unfortunately, the Jackfield Tile Museum lifts are currently unavailable due to a technical issue, so stair access is required to some areas.
“We’re working to resolve this as quickly as we can and apologise for any inconvenience.”

The spokeswoman added: “All visitors to Jackfield Tile Museum, including National Trust members, will need to book in advance.
