## Resource

Step into Victorian poverty at Ripon’s newly reopened Workhouse Museum, where immersive experiences—from sweeping yards to tasting gruel—bring history to life. Explore cramped cells, hear period sounds, and learn from volunteers dressed as schoolmasters or laundry workers. The $2.8 million renovation restored rotting windows and uncovered a 1930s cellar, revealing untouched history. Curators hope visitors will connect past struggles—alcoholism, mental health, family breakdown—to today’s challenges, fostering empathy and understanding. Part of a trio of Victorian-era museums, this space invites you to reflect on how far society has come—and how far it still has to go.
