History of the museum
The museum was established in 1975 by a group of local enthusiasts. Some of the group had been members of the local history class which wrote A History of Nidderdale, first published in 1967,[8] and they invited Bernard Jennings, editor of the History, to become one of the first trustees.[6]Template:Rp Harrogate Borough Council provided premises for the museum in the redundant offices of the Ripon and Pateley Bridge Rural District Council, originally built as a workhouse in 1863.[6]Template:Rp
