This charitable Trust was initially formed in 2000 through combining members of the Friends of Lackham Museum and the Wiltshire Life Society. In a unique partnership, the newly created Wiltshire College generously agreed to manage the Museum collections on behalf of the Trust and secure its long-term future.

Through joining the Trust, you can passively or actively support it in its promotion of a wider understanding of the agricultural practices and rural life of Wiltshire through the preservation and interpretation of the Museum collections.

Trust Members also have the opportunity to enjoy a range of benefits including:

• Social events including an annual coach excursion and themed Christmas meal.
• Participating in volunteer and fundraising activities.
• Newsletters are published twice a year.
• An Autumn/Winter season of topical lectures.
• FREE admission to Lackham Country Park – Museum, Gardens, Animal Park and Woodland Walk.
• Participation in the activities of the Trust's Friends Group.
