Beamish Museum has brought history to life for generations of families. By painstakingly moving historic buildings to its 300 acre site, Beamish Museum has recreated communities from history including the 1940s Home Farm, a pit village and drift mine, 1820s Pockerley Hall, and 1913 town with the famous Beamish Museum sweet shop. There are lots of great Beamish Museum events including Christmas, the winter ice rink, and Halloween. Keep an eye out for the Beamish Museum 1950s town coming soon.
