25.01.2022 Michael has been extra busy during this lockdown time! Edit:- I can't seem to add comments to photo's at the moment. A compactus has been installed in the office, housing binders full of history. Michael has been restoring old beds & furniture to furnish "Grandma's House", which he has built inside the museum.

25.01.2022 REST in PEACE Alison Woods Stephen This week, Woods' Farming and Heritage Museum lost a family member. I'm sure many of our visitors have met Alison at the museum over the years since she returned to live in Rup - she knew the origins of SO many items, many from her parent's & grandparent's homes. Alison, along with her brothers John & Michael Woods spent years compiling their folders on Rup's pioneers, a valuable research tool for the future. Alison's personal family histo...ry research is amazing and her connection to The Cornish Association of Victoria and to Rup's Woods' Farming & Heritage Museum were some of her great loves. Our sincere condolences to Michael Michael isn't on Facebook, but we'll make sure he sees any messages.
