Chiltern Open Air Museum

The Museum was founded in 1976, with the aim of rescuing threatened buildings and re-erecting them on our forty-five acre site of natural park, meadow and woodland, thereby preserving a variety of structures of historical or vernacular interest which are typical of the region. Our collection of more than 30 buildings are deliberately grouped. They include a working nineteenth century farmyard and a village with its green, cottages, forge and chapel. (Click here for a site map) In their appropriate settings the buildings, the artefacts they contain and the activities associated with them all illustrate the influences that have shaped the distinctive landscape of the Chilterns.
