Swaledale Museum, Local museum in Reeth, England
Located near The Green, this rural museum exhibits artifacts and documents representing life and work throughout Swaledale and Arkengarthdale regions of Yorkshire Dales.

The collection includes mining tools, photographs from Arn Gill lead mine, traditional textiles, and recorded voices of local Swaledale residents sharing their experiences.
