The former railway station and buildings have been purchased by the Yorkshire Dales National Park Authority and they are now converted into a museum. This most interesting museum tells the story of the people who have lived and worked in the Yorkshire Dales for more than 1000 years. There are many exhibits telling the story of lead mining and sheep farming. These railway carriages also have displays on show as you walk along inside the carriages. It’s well worth a visit especially on a rainy day.
