Ryedale Folk Museum

Today, John, of the volunteer team was busy restoring the miniature keep, part of the collection of miniature buildings donated by Harlow Carr Gardens,Harrogate. This weekend the museum is hosting events based around the popular story of Wind In The Willows, the play being performed live performed outdoors (depending on the weather) by the Library Theatre.

Here is our latest blog about the work that is carried out by dedicated staff and volunteers at Ryedale Folk Museum. At the moment there are several projects going on, one of which is restoring a great model village - kindly donated from Harlow Carr Gardens, Harrogate. Another is the building of a new shed to help preserve the vintage agricultural machinery and implements. Kevin, the Museum Manager is in this video parking one of the museum tractors. This M.F 135 was restored to its former glory at the museum, after spending many years as a scaper tractor on a dairy farm.
