Strokestown Park Museum Restaurant in Strokestown

One of the best looks at life during the famine times in Connacht. Visited for a school project and gave me better insights than most books on the subject and my history teachers.

Definitely worth the money. Very modern.

Fantastic modern museum built into the stables of the old estate. Very informative and harrowing.

What a national treasure Strokestown House is, it also has a fantastic guide in Grace. She brought the entire tour to life. If it was a 3 hour tour, it wouldn't still reveal all the history of such a home. It deserves millions so the entire property is painstakingly preserved. The largest collection of Irish Famine records are in the process of being digitalised, that will be another string in the bow of this fabulous estate. The gardens and glasshouse with grape vines, fig trees, and rare fruits is a delight to meander through.

We did the Christmas experience. It was so well done and well thought out.

Very moving. Well worth a visit.

Fascinating glimpse into an awful time in history. Lots of information about the dreadful period of the potato famine in Ireland

Great knowledge based information centre.

Was quite impressed , hadnt expected it to be so good a tour , info , photos and the blunt truth spelt out of the effect of the famine on one small town , highly recommended visiting.

Very well done storytelling with supporting documents and audio.
