Welcome to the Museum
The Museum is located in the peaceful surroundings of Stacey Hill Farm. Stacey Hill Farm was built early in the Victorian era as a model farm. It was located on the the outskirts of Wolverton, one of the UK's original "railway towns". Today the buildings overlook the "new city" of Milton Keynes but when they were built they were in the middle of the countryside. Our extensive displays portray the history and development of the North Buckinghamshire and South Northamptonshire area. The area has changed greatly over the years, culminating in 1960s with the creation of Milton Keynes, the UK's largest and last "new city".

Microscope Safari
Children and adults were invited to meet the creatures from the Museum's 'Black Lagoon' on a Microscope Safari during the May Bank Holiday Growing Families event.
Rather than dipping for the usual frogs, worms and beetles visitors hunted out some of the wonderful, weird and often strangely beautiful microscopic inhabitants of the Stacey Hill Farm pond.
Secret Seed Society at MKM
The Secret Seed Society will be promoted healthy eating for youngsters using story telling from their range of activity books as part of the Museum's Growing Families event at the May Bank Holiday weekend.
MKM Rallies the Old Mowers
Old Lawnmower Club members from all over the UK (and a few from overseas) were at the Museum for their annual rally over the 16th May weekend. More than 200 lawn mowers were on show and around 100 members attended. This was the Club's 21st annual rally sinceit was we founded at the first event in 1990. Some of the original faithful members were there again this year.
'Kester the Jester' at the Museum
Kester the Jester commanded rapt audiences of adults and children alike during the Museum's Tudor Weekend held on the Bank Holiday weekend, May 1st - 3rd .
Kester is the only person in over 350 years to be given the title of ‘State Jester’, he's the first official English Heritage Jester and the only jester who has been the subject of a parliamentary question! We look forward to seeing Kester and his circus performance stunts and gags again soon at forthcoming Museum events. Click on 'read more' to see some photos of kester in action.
Bus Buffs' Bonus
A collection of vintage and rare buses and coaches from Three Counties Bus and Commercial Vehicle Museum visited the Museum on Sunday the 25th April 2010.
The visit was part of National Bus Day, the annual celebration of Britain's favourite public transport vehicle. Visitors were treated with eight fine examples of British bus engineering superbly restored by their enthusiastic owners . Click on 'read more' to see some photos taken on the day.
Square Wheels Floating on Air
That innovative and controversial icon of the 70's, the Austin Allegro motor car, will be on display on Sunday the 16th May 2010 when the Allegro Club International hold thier National Event at the Museum.
A number of rare and interesting Allegro models will be on show. Some of us will have fond memories of the 'Quartic' steering wheel and futuristic 'Hydragas' suspension that characterised a British Car industry proud of traditional marks like Austin.
