About us
Brecknock Society and Museum Friends
Since it was founded in 1928, the Brecknock Society has been studying and promoting the history and culture of the historic county of Brecknock. The Society arranges lectures, meetings, exhibitions, and other events, to which all are welcome. We also support the Brecknock Museum & Art Gallery by purchasing historical artefacts for display, raising funds for the Museum, and working on its behalf. The most regular publication of the Society is its journal, Brycheiniog, which is published annually in March. It reflects the activities of the Society and seeks to stimulate a wider understanding of the history, archaeology, literature, and arts of the former county of Brecknock. We are always looking for new members, so if you have an interest in local history and culture, why not join us?
