		New Forest Museum A museum for the New Forest had been the dream of many people for a long time. With the celebration of the ninth centenary of the Forest's foundation in 1979 the first moves towards the realisation of that objective became possible.The New Forest Ninth Centenary Trust was founded in that year and set about raising funds for a museum. The dream became a reality when in the summer of 1988 the New Forest Museum was opened by the Duke of Edinburgh. The present rebuild and refurbishment of all facilities now makes the museum a cultural centre for the New Forest in the opening decades of the 21st century. www.newforestmuseum.org.uk
