This very hard-to-find museum is really a labor of love - one man's personal collection. It's the most impressive collection you've ever seen. There are more voluminous collections (although all are famous), but none are this organized. All of the artefacts here are Irish, ranging from 19th century farm and home implements to early 20th century brand packaging and medicines, to a fully equipped schoolroom, bar, and kitchen, all with period implements. Like trains? Plenty of railroad gear. Plenty of highway signs. Plenty of agricultural equipment. And the owner just goes and collects all this stuff for his own joy, and arranges it so that he can share it with you. I highly, highly recommend this place. Use the location marker I gave you - it IS signed off L1412, but you have to figure out how to even get there first. It's just east of Meanus and northwest of Bruff, if that helps. It's worth the detour. You will learn more from this than you ever would from a traditional museum, as the owner leads you around, shows you different implements - you can touch and try some of them out! - and explains so much of the history. The personal touch is what makes this incomparable. It's a 7 euro admission but you'll want to donate even more after that. read more
