The museum of Dartmoor life has been open for 45 years and covers 5000 years of Dartmoor history, stretched over three floors of an old mill building in the centre of Okehampton.

Our collections explore the people, industries, folklore and landscapes that make Dartmoor unique. Learn about the stone rows, hut circles and burial cairns. See how geology, flora and fauna have shaped these dramatic landscapes. Explore domestic life, including local crafts and traditions and what working on the moor was like in the quarries, down the mines and working the land. Travel and tourism, effects of wars and myths and legends are also covered.

We are a fully accessible museum and offer tours on request. We use QR codes to link visitors to films and further information. There are lots of great things for our younger visitors to enjoy too. Something for everyone, what ever their age. Our lovely volunteers are waiting to welcome you.
