Rural Life Living Museum Farnham Facing Closure
Added at 10:35 on 28 August 2024
The Rural Life Living Museum is a unique collection of the discarded buildings, implements and objects of everyday life, collected by Madge and Henry Jackson since 1968. The couple opened their back garden to the public in 1973. Tragically both their children died young and the Old Kiln Museum Charitable Trust was formed in 1984 to protect their only surviving legacy. The museum has been created by many thousands of people who have donated objects and volunteered their time, support and skills. The museum now has some 20 buildings and a collection of 40,000 objects.
The Rural Life Living Museum is owned and operated by the Old Kiln Museum CIO, Registered Charity 1200370. The museum receives no funding and survives hand to mouth through ticket sales and donations.
The Goal: to raise £150,000 by 31st October 2024
