Ryedale Folk Museum
Open-air museum of rescued moorland buildings: cottages, workshops, a chapel and a Victorian shop.
The workshop of Robert Thompson, whose oak furniture carries a carved mouse, still made in the village.

Robert Thompson of Kilburn began carving a mouse on his oak furniture in the 1920s and the Mouseman signature is now found in churches and colleges across the world. The showroom and a viewing gallery into the workshop are open to visitors, though the Visitor Centre museum and cafe are currently closed. Look for mice in Kilburn church and in most churches around the moors.
