Welcome to the Agricultural Museum at Brook
Tucked away below the North Downs, in the small village of Brook between Ashford and Wye, is a unique museum. The Grade I listed barn, Grade II listed oast house and associated buildings of the Agricultural Museum Brook, house an impressive collection of Kent related agricultural objects.
The Wye Rural Museum Trust, which owns and runs the museum, welcomes you to explore our site and learn more about our history, buildings, and collections.
As well as the usual opening hours, we offer tours throughout the year for both interested groups and schools by arrangement with the curator. Volunteers who would like to get involved with the museum are always welcome - go to How to Help and Support Us.
October 2021 Update
A big thank you to the museum's volunteers who welcomed visitors on successive weekends throughout the Summer. Many visitors commented on the extraordinary experience of entering the barn to find themselves immersed in a bygone age of horse-drawn wagons and farm equipment, whilst also commending the new and much-improved interpretative materials.
The 2021 season ended with a fascinating lecture given by Professor Catherine Richardson (see news item) followed by a wonderful Harvest Festival barbecue held jointly with the village and church of Brook; good use was made of the museum's new gazebos, purchased with funding from councillors Clair Bell and William Howard.
