This was a real treat!
There is a lot of interesting items in the museum to look at, just be aware that these people running the museum are volunteers and in no way should be charging and doing grave or name searches if not trained or have the resources other than the internet for you as I found out. Do not waste your money on a heritage or grave search in the area with this center, because once you give them your information and money you will have to email them constantly and maybe they will respond. I found out for free in one day from my B&B host where to look and found 2 graves. Clew Bay spent 8 weeks and could not give me the same information and its not that they gave me nothing its the way they handled my request. They were supposed to let me know in a couple of days while I was there but I had to email them 3 times in 5 weeks and they finally replied they had not even looked at it and three weeks later gave me a short, no we have no information.
Fascinating talk by the curator and some fascinating objects and local history information.
Tells the history if the local area in Westport and especially the story of Grace O'Malley the Pirate Queen
