The museum is in the former Methodist school in Reeth. It contains a large selection of items connected with the history of the life and work in the Dales of Swaledale and Arkengarthdale. If you want to find out about the history of the lead mining in the dales, this is the place to come.

The Museum is the base for the 'Friends of the Museum' and their talks and shows by guest speakers on very varied features of the dales' history. Please read the newsletters to read about recent activities.
