Despite Thirsk only being small, the museum is jampacked full of its interesting history. As the museum is in a house, each room is dedicated to different displays. The exhibits include artefacts from Thirsk’s industrial past, as well as artefacts from local history. Wander around the different rooms and look at the different historical objects including:
Creep yourself out by learning about the legend of the Busby Stoop Chair or gaze in awe at the bones of the Saxon Giant.
The museum has ramped access to its ground floor, which provides wheelchair/ pushchair access. However, the stairs to the upper floor are narrow and therefore limit wheelchair/ pushchair access. The museum allows guide dogs.
