Local history brought to life

Displays about local public houses, a blacksmith’s premises, the local Turks football club, the artist Augustus John, WW2 artefacts and the railway in Fordingbridge.
Other permanent displays include: Local brick making artefacts and history, cobblers equipment and early bicycles.
Entry is free but we rely on donations to keep open so please be generous - Please see the Donations page for details.
