Our Collection Photos
Many visitors come to the museum to marvel at the size of these boots! The cash register is from the Cloyne general store.
We have tried to give you a 'mini-tour' (or 'virtual' tour if you like) of our Museum on this page. Here you will find pictures and descriptions of a few of the articles on display.
All contributions are gratefully received.
