Just 300m from The Rock of Cashel, Cashel Folk Village is a multi-award winning museum, containing an incredible, vast collection of original memorabilia relating to many different periods of Irish history. Visitors are taken on a fascinating journey to discover the real stories behind key events in Irish history. Highlights include the Easter Rising and War of Independence museum, the Great Irish Famine workhouse, the Original Tinkers Wagon, the Penal Chapel and a vast collection of original artefacts dating back 10,000 years.
Inside this old world museum is a fabulous collection of historical memorabilia relating in particular to famed members of the Third Tipperary Brigade and the War of Independence. There is also a section of the museum which documents The Great Irish Famine of 1845 – 1851 through lifelike exhibits and an audiovisual show concerning the Great Famine, which is well worth watching.
