After leaving Kilmichael Ambush Site, we decided to keep going and travel to the Independence Museum, as I discovered that the museum would be open on Bank Holiday Monday. I was greeted by Siobhán, a volunteer to the museum and she gave me a booklet with a lot of information and showed me downstairs to the main museum and the order of museum. It was self-guided and I had time to view and look at each item in my own time. It was lovely to read and see so much information about the Civil War in this locality. The space was small, but there was so much information crammed into this space. This place is a must for those who are interested in Irish history and it was lovely to see other places of interest discussed within the museum. The entrance fee was €5 for adults and it is well worth the price. I could have spent hours going through in detail all the items that they have to display. Would strongly recommend and would love to go back and see more items that I missed.

This exhibition has been prepared by Irish Veterans, a Registered Charity established to research and commemorate the global military experience of the Irish and Irish diaspora. The exhibition will guide you through Irish involvement from the American Civil War up to the war in Afghanistan. Among the artifacts on display is the only Medal of Honor displayed outside of America.

Excellent, informative and comprehensive presentation by extremely knowledgeable members of Battle of Aughrim Historic Group covering aspects surrounding the battle. I understand this is an annual event and I suggest it is well worth attending. During the presentation I was made aware of the significance of the battle in Irish and European history. Given the importance of this site I was surprised to learn that the Centre doesn’t receive funding from the national coffers and seems to depend on a dedicated group of interested individuals who have gathered and collated battle details. Much needed funding would ensure that the Center could be updated, modernised and that the information gathered would be available to future generations.
