Buckland Today
The property has been open to the public since 1951. The National Trust operates it with the assistance of the city of Plymouth — the City of Plymouth Museums and Art Museum use the building to house part of their collection.
The collection is noted for the presence of "Drake's Drum". A number of independent craft workshops are located in the converted ox sheds.

Famous quotes containing the word today:
“As yesterday and the historical ages are past, as the work of today is present, so some flitting perspectives and demi-experiences of the life that is in nature are in time veritably future, or rather outside of time, perennial, young, divine, in the wind and rain which never die.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
