This small museum showcases the history and heritage of Upper Wharfedale, a picturesque valley in the Yorkshire Dales National Park. Exhibits include displays on lead mining, farming, and village life, as well as a collection of artifacts and photographs that tell the story of the area's people and industries.
Me and my friend had a relaxing experience at this museum, where we were welcomed by lovely staff! There is a lot of displays on at the museum, covering categories such as technology, mining, clothing, medicine, machinery and even more! Print outs are hung up on a wall, showing trains with information about them and this was a very interesting feature.
Called in today on a visit to Grassington great place the lady in charge was very helpful and knowledgeable
Gorgeous little village abd lovely people too. Saw all of the all creatures great and small film locations too. Fantastic.
Small museum in the centre of Grassington. Lovely, friendly and helpful volunteer, very welcoming. Free to visit, but relies on donations. There are three rooms downstairs and two upstairs, all crammed with artefacts. There's something for everyone. Brilliant collection and display of bronze age flint arrow and spearheads. There's even a bronze age stone axe - very Flintstones Bedrock, ha. Most curious item in the museum for me was something I've never even heard of before - a moustache cup! Allegedly invented by British potter, Harvey Adams, in the 1870's. The cup has a ledge guard inside, designed to allow liquids to pass through, while keeping the moustachios dry....! Worth a visit, but their opening hours are quite brief.
Not exactly the folk museum but close enough
One of the best place to visit in Grassington, very beautiful infrastructure, and beautiful flooring
Wheelchair-accessible entrance
Restaurant
Toilets
Good for kids
