Welcome to Elstree & Borehamwood Museum

Elstree and Borehamwood Museum is an independent local history museum which opened its doors in 2000. It evolved out of a community history project with a small collection of objects and photographs. Run entirely by volunteers, the museum has acquired a large collection of items leading to the production of themed displays, talks, workshops for schools and local community groups and answering a busy enquiry service.

THE MUSEUM IS CLOSED FOR CHRISTMAS AND THE NEW YEAR FROM MONDAY 23rd DECEMBER UNTIL THURSDAY 2nd JANUARY
