Living History Project

An old tool from the workshop, Grandma's recipe book, and old school report. Just think of the stories that can be woven around such mementos. This is the starting point for the Blandford Museum Living history Project, an important initiative to record the day-to-day history of our community.

The project is open to people of all ages. We need people to help record and display the stories as well as people who have stories to tell and want to talk about the way things were. Help us capture this vital picture of Blandford as it was and how our town has changed over time.

Watch this space for information on upcoming training sessions (how to use a digital recorder, etc.) and Living History events. We are especially interested in working with schools and community groups!
