Our mission statement is....

Almond Valley is an independent museum that exists to preserve and interpret the history and environment of West Lothian. Through operation of Almond Valley we aim to make this heritage accessible, engaging and enjoyed by everyone”

Almond Valley Heritage Trust was established in 1990, the successor to a series of community-based volunteer initiatives dating back to the early 1970's. Nominated representatives from West Lothian Council and from the Friends of Livingston Mill, our volunteer support group, are represented on the Board of Trustees

Almond Valley offers a unique resource for informal family-based learning, a safe, social, and enriching environment for families and children, and provides a broad range of opportunities for community involvement and volunteer participation. The Trust has won a range of awards for innovative educational and interpretative work, and was named Scottish Museum of the Year in 2002.

Admission prices and other charges are maintained at levels that are affordable to all, and over 85,000 people use and visit Almond Valley every year.
