Chiltern Open Air Museum, Open-air museum in Chalfont St Giles, England
The 45-acre museum grounds display 37 historic buildings spanning from Iron Age to mid-twentieth century, including barns, farmhouses, and traditional structures.
Volunteers established the museum in 1976 to rescue endangered historic buildings at risk of demolition, opening its doors to the public in 1981.
The museum preserves vernacular buildings that represent the residences and workplaces of ordinary people through different periods of British history.
The museum maintains a working historic farm with sheep, goats, cows, chickens, and ducks, along with traditional gardens and woodland areas.
The museum collection includes a Henton Tin Chapel, originally from Oxfordshire, constructed from wood and covered in iron sheets.
