The 'Friends of Dacorum Museum' was originally formed in 1982 to provide support to the Dacorum Heritage Trust. Assistance was given by buying artefacts and helping to steward exhibitions. Over the years we have bought, or helped with the purchase of, a variety of objects which have interesting connections with the Borough of Dacorum. The money for these purchases is raised from subscriptions and visits to places of historical interest, particularly in and around the Borough of Dacorum.
