There is a range of displays featuring different elements of life in the Dale and of its people. Activities for Children. The Weardale Museum occupies the old manse of the adjoining High House Methodist Chapel which closed in 2019. The Museum has purchased the Chapel and is in the process of converting the two buildings into a Museum and Heritage Centre. The Chapel is currently closed.
The life and times of Weardale and its people are the focus of the collections with displays on farming, mining and quarrying, railways, emigration and the First World War.
