Weald & Downland Open Air Museum

The Weald & Downland Open Air Museum

The museum is a living, working environment where crops are grown and harvested using traditional methods. Flour is made in the on site water mill which was transferred from the nearby village of Lurgashall. All of the buildings on the site are from all over the South Downs and Weald and have been reconstructed to accurately reflect the state they would have been in at particular times in their history.
