Museum of Lakeland Life and Industry Details
This award-winning museum takes you and your family back in time to tell the story of the Lake District and its inhabitants. Isolated until the arrival of the train and motorcar, which brought newcomers and tourists, this area developed its own unique customs and special traditions. Inside you can explore a typical Victorian farmer's home from the food in the kitchen, to the elegance of the parlour. Other galleries tell the story of the Arts and Crafts movement, and the industrial history of this beautiful part of the world. Here you can discover the Lake District's past in farming, mining, tanning, and many other ways that people have made a living amongst the fells. The Museum allows you to discover how people have lived in the Lake District and how the unique landscape has shaped their lives. You can also find out about Arthur Ransome, one of the Lake District's most famous authors, and colourful characters. And why not stroll down the Victorian high street before you go to find out about the toys, food, and even medicines of the past? Changing exhibitions look at all aspects of Lakeland Life so there will always be something new to discover Grid Reference: SD 51657 92203 Address (near): Peppercorn Ln, Kendal LA9 5AL, UK
