  • It was great to connect with our O’Riley family history in Cavqn, and get context of the achievements and challenges over hundreds of years.

  • A place I always wanted too visit but with all things C - related I couldn't until now. The WW1 trenches can be eerie especially on your own just imaging life back then in them. Inside the museum, its well decked out! And you wont feel the hours fly by.
  • Amazing museum in Ballyjamesduff, County Cavan. There's something in the museum and outside grounds to keep eveyone interested. There are great displays on Gaelic football, Camogie, ancient Irish artefacts, life in a World War 1 trench, Irish Independence and rural Cavan life. The exhibitions are based on 3 floors and outside in the grounds at the back. Wheelchair users were visiting the same day that I was there and were able to use the lift to access each floor. You'll need to allow at least an hour to get around the exhibitions. The museum has a lovely cafe serving coffee and snacks, a good shop, toilet facilities and free parking. The staff are very welcoming and pleasant, I left my money in the cafe and one of the staff found me to return it.
