The Museum of Dartmoor Life exists to show how people have lived, worked and played on and around Dartmoor through the centuries. It shows how the moorland shaped their lives just as their work shaped the moorland. This is a museum which concentrates on local history, and is run and supported by local people.
The Museum began its life in 1982 when - with a growing collection of local objects to be housed and displayed - a group of volunteers raised funds to purchase the present site and its empty derelict buildings. They then put in much time and effort to refurbish the buildings for their new role.
Having opened to the public, over the years further enhancements and additions to the displays, galleries and facilities have taken place to win awards and provide the present services and representations of Dartmoor's history.
