The Museum is now open for the 2011 season, with new exhibitions as well as many of the old favourites. The Resource Room is available for family or local history research, with extended hours this year.
The Farm Gallery is in the walled garden to the rear of the main building.
It contains a wide range of machinery and equipment used on farms, from heavy equipment such as a cider press to hand tools. The designs of equipment such as wagons (which were not used here until the 17th century) are influenced by the narrow lanes and steep hills of the South Hams, and were built in local engineering workshops.
We also have facilities for repairing and restoring the machinery.
The Farm Gallery was built in 1975.
