A new exhibition exploring the people and places that have shaped Hertfordshire opens at Mill Green Museum this weekend.
Mill Green Museum's latest exhibition, ‘What the Wind Saw’, will open to the public on Saturday, July 20.
The exhibition is a literary journey through the heart of Hertfordshire, featuring a captivating collection of Hertfordshire-inspired short stories by local author and performer, Zoë Jasko.
Zoë said: “My book is a collection of stories inspired from my walks in the countryside around where I live.
"I wrote this book because I am proud of the beautiful county of Hertfordshire, and I want others to enjoy it as much as I do.
"I also wrote my book to encourage us all to walk in the countryside — it's good for our physical health, our mental health, and our imaginations!”
Visitors to the exhibition at the tourist attraction in Mill Green are invited to join Zoë on a literary journey through local towns, villages and landmarks, and enjoy the rich history that Welwyn, Hatfield and beyond has to offer.
Zoë's stories weave together tales from the Roman invasion to Ebenezer Howard's Garden City legacy, exploring the people and places that have shaped Hertfordshire.
Councillor Jane Quinton, deputy leader of the borough council and executive member for leisure and community, said: “We are so lucky to have a museum like Mill Green Museum and Watermill in Welwyn Hatfield. Their new exhibition ‘What the Wind Saw’ is a wonderful celebration of our rich heritage.
"Zoë Jasko's stories bring to life the history and culture of Middle-Hertfordshire, offering a deeper appreciation of our area's history.
"This exhibition is testament to what makes Welwyn Hatfield so special. I encourage everyone to visit Mill Green Museum and experience this exhibition for themselves."
