Milton Keynes Museum is located in the peaceful surroundings of Stacey Hill Farm, built early in the Victorian era as a model farm.

It is located on 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.

The Museum's local social history collections allow visitors to experience the areas domestic, industrial, agricultural and transport heritage. Housed in a beautiful Victorian Farmstead, our large and constantly changing selection of displays have something for all the family.

Visit the street of period shops; Victorian room settings; working period telephones and switchboards; Hall of Transport; try your hand at brass rubbing, listen to an air raid in the museum's Anderson Shelter or make toast the old fashioned way in our working period kitchen.

Milton Keynes Museum's Granary Tea Room provides home-cooked light refreshments, including sandwiches and home made cakes. There is an outside picnic area with tables and chairs, and plenty of grassy space.

Vegetarian and special dietary requirements can usually be accommodated.

A large range of products are available in Milton Keynes Museum's shop. These range from quality gifts through to sweets and pocket money toys.

Toilet facilities are available in the shop, by the period kitchen and in the tearoom. Disabled facilities are available in the shop and tearoom. Baby changing facilities are available in the tearoom.

Baby foods can be warmed on request.
