Hertford Heath Roadshow is a success!

Wednesday, August 12th, 2009
 

  The Museum Roadshow made it’s way up to a Hertford Heath on the 11th August 2009.

Hertford Museum staff were joined by HALS, the Library Service and the Police to provide activities around the theme of ‘Dark Herts’. 

We took the museum collections related to Crime and Punishment in Hertford and the archives gave visitors the opportunity to trace their very own criminal ancestors!

The Police officers gave tips on how to keep safe in the 21st century and even brought along modern and older uniforms for visitors to try on!

 A good day was had by all, and most notably perhaps due to the cream teas courtesy of Connie!?
