The Dacorum Heritage Trust

The Museum Tours at Two - Take a closer look

August Tour

The August tour takes place on Tuesday 12th of August at 2pm.

Have you ever held an axe head from 6,000 years ago, looked closely at samplers dating from 1880 or measured yourself up against the wheel of a penny-farthing? These are all objects housed at The Dacorum Heritage Trust.

Come along to the museum store in Berkhamsted on 12th August at 2pm and learn more about the objects used and owned by people in your area. The curatorial staff here at the Dacorum Heritage Trust guarantee that something ni the collection of over 65,000 objects will capture your imagination.

The regular tours continue once a month at 2pm with every other tour featuring around a theme. The tours not only give an overview of the boroughs history spanning over 3,000 years, but will also give you a taste of the activities we do to help conserve your local history.

Tours need to be booked in advance - please call the Dacorum Heritage Trust on 01442 879525 or email Nina Bevan to reserve your place. Tours cost £3 per person. Unfortunately the Store is not wheelchair accessible, although alternative arrangements can be made.

 

A map to the store can be found here.

We are happy to accommodate group tours at other times - telephone the Trust on 01442 879525 to make a booking.
