First Garden City Heritage Museum in Letchworth Garden City, Hertfordshire follows the acorn of Ebenezer Howard's idea through to the realisation of his dream in bricks and mortar and in fields and trees.
His vision of space, sunlight and greenery has created a legacy that is still copied around the world today.
The museum is housed in a beautiful and unique 1907 thatched building, designed by the architect Barry Parker. You can visit his office, which is filled with hand-made Arts and Crafts furniture and paintings, and learn how he and Raymond Unwin planned the town. The special exhibitions programme explores the lives of the people of Letchworth Garden City how they lived, their houses & gardens, how they earned their living, where they spent their money, what they did for entertainment and more.
Our aim is to make learning about our town fun and friendly, with lots to see and do for all ages.
