The New Forest Museum
If you are visiting Lyndhurst during your stay or day trip try and make time to stop off at the New Forest Museum whilst you are here.
Although we have included a lot of information on our website to make sure you get the most out of your holiday or trip to forest, the Museum will fill in all the holes an help you delve even deeper into the fascinating history of the national park as well as the lives and lifestyles of the real folk of the foresters, the commoners.
The Museum is owned by the New Forest Ninth Centenary Trust which is a registered charity, and was first established in 1998 when it was opened by the Duke of Edinburgh.
The museum has recently been rebuilt and refurbished making it ready for the thousands of future visitors and children that come to the museum both as tourists and on school educational trips when the children can learn first hand about the practises and day to day life of the forest and the forest commoners.
The museum has a number of galleries full of information, interactive computer media and even quizzes for the children.
If you need to do some research on the area then the New Forest Museum is also home to the Christopher Tower Reference library said to contain the most comprehensive reference material about the forest available in one place.
