- Booking not needed
- Free event (admission applies)
Did you know that Alexander Keiller collected cow creamers? These beautiful cow-shaped jugs were originally used by people over 200 years ago but are still made today. When Mr Keiller was digging at Windmill Hill, he found evidence that people were drinking milk over 6,000 years ago. Families can pick up a free trail from the museum desk to follow clues and look for cow creamers hidden around the museum while learning more about Windmill Hill.
