Re:collection & Re:connection - 100 years on the High Street

Haslemere Educational Museum aims to commemorate its 100th anniversary on the High Street by deepening community engagement and appreciation for local heritage through the "Re:collection & Re:connection" project. We plan to celebrate and preserve the town's rich history and natural environment by collecting oral histories, facilitating a community art project, a schools art display and organizing a Bioblitz event. These activities are designed to foster a shared sense of pride and belonging among diverse local groups, including commuters and recent arrivals, by involving them in meaningful heritage-related experiences. This project will not only enhance our educational offerings but also ensure that the legacy of Haslemere's cultural and natural heritage continues to inspire and educate future generations.
