The idea to set up a museum, archives and culture center in the Villages of Buxton/ Friendship was nurtured and researched for over ten years. Finally, when things were put in place for the construction of the building to house the center, the organization Friends of Villages Museum & Archives, Inc. was formed to support such a historical undertaking.

The official Buxton Friendship Museum, Archives and Culture Center is located at lot 35 Edmund Forde Street, ( Lower Level) in Buxton Village, Guyana.  Its mission is to promote a greater understanding of the rich history, culture, achievements & contributions of the descendants of Buxton/Friendship, Bladenhall, Vigilance, Annandale and Lusignan. Its aim is to share and involve the museum and archives in the community, while also being an institution of cultural entertainment and education, and a place to reflect on the lives of the individuals associated with these areas while appreciating the full racial and cultural diversity.

As 2017  came to a close, The Friends of the Museum  began asking for donation to help the museum and its related activities achieve their objectives. The Friends of the Museum is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization thus making your contribution eligible for a tax deduction on your tax return.  In making your donations, please follow the guidance on the attached document.  Also very important, please volunteer your time to the museum.

The museum is almost completed and will be open to the public around the middle of 2018. We will keep you informed of the progress.  The Board of Directors of the Friends of Villages Museum & Archives, Inc.  would like to thank you for your support and welcomes you as a part of the community that is committed to preserving and sharing the history of this region of Guyana.
