Story
Ford Green Hall is a 17th century timber-framed farmhouse in Stoke-on-Trent. Every year it offers visitors (including thousands of children on school trips) a fascinating insight into our past. The Museum is also closely connected to the local community via craft workshops utilising original historic methods of production, theme-based activities for children during the school holidays, musical events and local history talks. We are a Charitable Community Group who were set up to save the Museum from closure in 2013 and we now run the Museum and are responsible for maintaining the building.
With the Covid 19 pandemic striking this year we are seeing and expecting a lot less income. Even when we open up again, without school visits and events we will struggle to keep the Hall in a healthy situation.
we are presently working on following Government guidelines ensuring visits to the Museum can be achieved safely.
We are appealing for contributions to help preserve this wonderful building so that future generations may enjoy its insight into the way our ancestors lived.
