Aldershot Military Museum

[1] The museum was opened by the Duke of Gloucester in 1984 and is housed in the only two surviving barrack bungalows built in the "North Camp" area of Farnborough in the 1890s.

It also acts as the local history museum for the civil towns of Aldershot and Farnborough, which form the modern Borough of Rushmoor.

The Rushmoor Local History Gallery tells the story of Aldershot and Farnborough, and the people and businesses associated with those towns.

In this gallery are displays about George Potters, drum makers to the British Army; a Victorian shop; and information on the French imperial family, the construction of Farnborough Abbey and the pottery industry of Farnborough and Cove.

In 1908, Farnborough was the site of Britain's first powered flight by the American, Samuel Franklin Cody.
