The Yorkshire Museum of Farming was established by the Yorkshire Farm Machinery Preservation Society. The society began negotiations to build a museum on the Murton Park site in the late 1970s, and the museum opened to the public in 1982. The Museum has a Four Seasons Gallery, Women's land Army Exhibition, Livestock Gallery, Nature Trail, Animals and a Playground.
The park covers approximately 16 acres of mostly flat terrain, connected by a series of paths and trackways of varying surfaces.
