The Rural Life Living Museum is here thanks to Madge and Henry Jackson, an inspiring couple who started collecting items - fuelled by a desire to create a fabulous garden full of interesting ornaments and things.
As their collection grew, they needed to house it, and the couple acquired a series of old buildings and barns from the local area. Today some of these heritage buildings are a valuable part of the museum collection which now includes a Chapel, a cricket pavilion, an old workshop and bike store, a school room and a WWII prefab house. Each building has a story to tell, and many artefacts and items of interest are homed within.
Along with our vast collection of over 40,000 objects and 30 buildings we also host a large number of events. From our Steam Rally weekend, tractor rally and The Surrey Hills Spring Fair. We have something for everyone.
