Michael Davitt Memorial Museum

TIME : 2016/2/18 22:16:38

Housed in a pre-penal church where the man himself was christened (and next to Straide Abbey, in which he was buried) is this small but passionate museum . The man, of course, is Michael Davitt (1846–1906), a Fenian and zealous founding member of the Irish National Land League. Davitt’s family was brutally evicted from his childhood home near here.
