The Folk Village Museum offers an excellent guided tour for the visitor. In the tour you will experience life as it was in the 1700’s, 1800's and 1900’s. Our thatched cottage are exact replicas of those belonging to that era and are furnished accordingly. Take a look at how our ancestors lived, cooked, the beds they lay on, the tools they used, their means of lighting and heat. For those of you who can trace your ancestors to Ireland, this is an ideal opportunity to see rural life at first hand. |

Bheadh muid an-bhuíoch dá ndéanfadh lucht eagraithe turas, grúpaí scoile agus busanna socrú linn roimh ré le cinntiú gur féidir linn freastal orthu. We
would be very grateful if tour operators, school groups or
coaches would book well in advance to avoid disappointment.
Tapestry workshops, traditional music nights and Irish culture
events will be available during the summer. Please e-mail
or ring us on 074-9730017 / 9730334 for details. The folk
village is open from Easter Saturday until the end of September. |
