Wolverton Buckinghamshire hotels:

Welcome to Milton Keynes Museum, where we preserve the history of Britain's newest city. Housed in a beautiful Victorian farmstead our large and constantly changing selection of displays have something for all the family. The museum follows the history of the Milton Keynes area, including North Buckinghamshire and South Northamptonshire, from 1800 to the present day. Our collections include social, domestic, industrial and agricultural items with a connection to the area. Each has a story to tell. 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". The unique combination of new and old makes Milton Keynes one of the most unusual towns in England. Yet despite the fact that so much in the area is relatively new, there is a huge amount of history too. Much of this stems from the location of Milton Keynes in the middle of the country and mid way between London and Birmingham. This is the reason why Milton Keynes was chosen as the location for the "new city" but it also helps explain why so many interesting and important historical events happened in the area.
