Authentic insite into Irish heritage including the 1916 uprising and important figures of this era who contributed to Irish independence. There was an interesting array of memorabilia including original photos, documents and artillery. One of our party was delighted to see a photo of his grandfather. The guide was welcoming and very informative. A must for those historians interested in this troubled period of Irish history.

This is such a wonderful place so full of history. Bernard is a delight and provided a wealth of information on Irish history. I wish I had more time to explore as there are so many cool details to the Folk Village. Thank you for a great afternoon!

We found this little treasure by chance straight after visiting the Rock of Cashel with my youngest son (10) and nephews (15, 17). The museum is very small but full of interesting objects and memorabilia, a great way to learn more about the history of Ireland. A visit should be mandatory for all school children! Bernard is extremely passionate and knowledgeable guide. Thank you for a wonderful afternoon!

Well … what can I say except 1 solitary word & that is AMAZING !!! if you find yourself in this area visiting the Rock of Cashel per se my suggestion is to visit this independent museum FIRST ! Seriously you won’t regret it 👌🏼 Bernard, 👏 a pioneering spirit with his unreal wealth of knowledge - we had what constitutes a private & uninterrupted tour…lucky LUCKY 🍀 US ! I really didn’t want to leave, I can hand on heart say that I’ve never had a tour in any museum (worldwide to the ones I have visited) like this, so informative, so educationally fascinating… This man does it all himself without any governmental funding (which for the life of me I cannot understand !! 🙄) There are artifacts & history in this place that need preservation, not to mention the care / maintenance that Thatched cottage requires. No man is an island & can do it all himself. Footnote: To all Tipperary TD’s / Local Councilors….wake up the lot of you & get funding behind this gem of a treasure, this museum should be regarded as 1 of the Holy Grails for nationals/tourists & school tours alike - preserving our history is essential knowledge for generations to come…

This museum is a must see if you are in the area. Bernard has a fantastic wealth of knowledge and love for the items he has collected and saved. The section on the Easter Rising and War of Independence is particularly interesting. Also, you get to handle bog butter! Just one thing to remember before you visit is that payment is cash only.

Cashel Folk Village is a must see. The museum was full of amazing artefacts and history. The guide was so informative and passionate about the museum and was a mine of information. I would highly recommend Cashel Folk Village

A complete gem. The owner and curator - Bernard - has a plethora of facts at his fingertips and certainly 'knows his stuff'. This is a small museum and we were fortunate to arrive quite early and to have the undivided attention of Bernard. I thought I was fairly au fait with the ins and outs of the civil and independence wars and struggles and also with the famine. I soon learned differently! A delightful place to mooch at your leisure.

Just a 5 min walk from Rock of Cashel and well worth the trip. We were greeted by curator Bernard who immediately gave us a full guided tour. Lots of artefacts all with great stories behind them wonderfully explained. Highly recommend

This was a very interesting unique and memorable musuem. The Owner is well versed through professional and personal experience in Irish history and is very generous with his time. We liked the short walk from the Rock to the museum, giving us a chance to see a bit of the town. Highly recommend.

Absolutely loved this little gem. Bernard was very welcoming and full of knowledge, not only about everything in the museum, but the local history too. Which his roots are truly ingrained in. Cashel Folk Village was definitely one of the highlights of our trip, I highly recommend a visit if you are visiting Tipperary and don't let this treasure trove of knowledge pass you by.🇮🇪
