Tullow Museum (Irish: Músaem na Tulaí) is a local museum in Tullow, County Carlow in Ireland. It documents the history of Tullow town and the surrounding area.[1]
History
[edit | edit source]Tullow Museum is located in the former Tullow Methodist church on Bridge Street at the River Slaney Bridge in Tullow. It is run on a voluntary basis by the Tullowphelim Historical Society.[2][3] The church dates from around 1850.[4]
The museum contains a collection of objects relating to the town's history. There is a focus on Father John Murphy and the events of the 1798 Rebellion, with a display of what are purported to be his last vestments. The museum also has a collection of local historical photographs, and genealogical information on local gravestones.[5] Other items relate to Sir Ernest Shackelton.[2]
