Families Day 2015

Crowds gather round the stands

The Museum stall at the Families Day on Saturday was our best display ever, and the large number of Borehamwood and Elstree residents who dropped in for a chat were well pleased with all the items on show.  Whether it was announcing new exhibitions into 2017, reminders about our monthly reminiscence meetings (Going Down The Village) or asking for more Friends and Volunteers there was something for every visitor.  We were especially interested in gathering information from everyone for our 2017 exhibition From Village To Town – Celebrating A Century Of Migration by finding out from where the residents of Borehamwood had originated.  With large maps of London, the UK and the World there were soon lots of pins showing the varied boroughs, cities and countries from whence our population originate.  Thanks to everyone who dropped by – good to see you all!
