The village was established as a living museum in 1938 when Henry Kelly’s Cottage was restored and opened to the public. Museum is owned and operated by The Manx National Trust and comprises over Thatched Cottage and 300 acres of farmland.

During the summer season the cottage are open and inside visitors can enjoy demonstrations of domestic crafts and hear stories of the rugged self-sufficient lifestyles of the villagers of the past.
