Children have been taught on the museum's historic site in Queen Street, Hitchin since 1810. The unique cluster of school buildings and classrooms is as much the reason for the museum's existence as is their contents. The British Schools Museum is set in a unique set of buildings to tell the story of elementary education in Britain from 1810 until 1969.
