Many of the exhibits are of genuine Dales provenance, a large number of them being taken from the collection of Jim and Margaret Taylor of High Laning Farm, the Centre's founders, who have spent many years rescuing and refurbishing many of the traditional artefacts on display here.

The exhibits on display help to recreate the physical environment of the era, telling the real story of Dent through the working lives and social customs of the Dalesfolk who inhabited this area in times past. Please read on to get a further taste of what to expect when you arrive.
