Very interesting, modest and local but well done
Jul 2017 • Family
This is a small museum devoted to the local history of Claregalway, a small village which has become a suburb of Galway and a major crossroads. It has displays of tools used by local artisans and citizens--planes, cooking utensils, turf-cutters etc.--and local news clippings about the rising and the Civil War. A small village museum. There is also a blacksmith shop/forge used by a local citizen till I think the 1990s.

Very interesting. Was shown around by a great tour guide. The restored blacksmith forge is a credit to those involved. Well worth a visit!
