The Folk Village Museum in Glencolumbkille is a unique attraction that offers visitors a glimpse into the traditional way of life in rural Ireland. The museum is set in a picturesque location, surrounded by rolling hills and lush greenery, and is housed in a collection of traditional thatched cottages that have been painstakingly restored to their original condition.
As you wander through the museum, you'll be transported back in time to a bygone era, where you can explore the various rooms and see how people lived, worked, and played in the past. Each cottage has been furnished with authentic period pieces, including furniture, clothing, and household items, giving you a real sense of what life was like for the people who once called these cottages home.
One of the highlights of the museum is the weaving room, where you can watch skilled weavers at work, creating beautiful textiles using traditional techniques. You can also visit the blacksmith's forge, where you can see how metal was shaped and formed by hand, and the carpenter's workshop, where you can see how wood was worked to create everything from furniture to tools.
In addition to the cottages, the museum also features a number of outdoor exhibits, including a traditional Irish farmstead, complete with livestock and crops, and a replica of a prehistoric stone circle, which gives visitors a fascinating insight into the ancient history of the area.
Overall, the Folk Village Museum in Glencolumbkille is a must-visit attraction for anyone interested in Irish history and culture. With its beautifully restored cottages, authentic exhibits, and stunning location, it offers a unique and unforgettable experience that will stay with you long after you leave.
