We wish all of our friends, visitors and volunteers many thanks for your support this year and  a Very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

The Museum re-opens after the holiday season on Saturday the 14^th January 2012.

We hope to see you all again next year.

The Victorian Christmas event is in full swing now with the Museum all decked out and busy with visitors. Mother is taking her ease in the parlor sipping fruit punch while being entertained on the pianola, dad is in the kitchen with the kids making toast the old fashioned way, while granddad and grandma are perusing the Christmas market in the barn. Other families are taking a horse drawn wagon ride around the farm or buzzing the old phones in the telephone hut. The highlight for the children, of course, is a visit with Father Christmas and for the grown ups perhaps a treat of home-made cakes in the Tea Room. Everyone enjoys a bit of historical escapism invoked by the special atmosphere at the MKM at this time of year.

This picture was taken at MKM history festival held on the 7^th & 8^th of May. It  proved to be a very popular event with loads of demonstrations from a large team of re-enactment enthusiasts. There were plenty of opportunities for visitors to get 'hands on' too as you can see from this picture!
