Venue Description

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. Come and use the historic telephones and switchboards; see the museum’s Victorian Parlour, schoolroom, toy room and laundry; make toast in the kitchen; Also visit the street of period shops; see our Hall of Transport. The museum’s Granary Tea Room provides home-cooked light refreshments, including sandwiches and cakes. There is an outside picnic area with tables and chairs, and plenty of grassy space.
