Co. Donegal is rich in historical museums scattered all around this county. Tourists who happened to be staying at Donegal are in a perfect location to visit some of this county’s well acclaimed museums.
One museum worth a visit is the Donegal Railway Heritage Museum. This heritage site takes its guests and visitors to a time travel to the past through its visual and audio presentations depicting the old way of transportation. The railway which highlights the museum extends from Derry and Strabane to Glenties and Ballyshannon. This is the primary mode of travel during the earlier times. This railway has served the people of Donegal and some of the neighboring counties with their transport needs, thus, it is well fitted to pay tribute to it through this museum. Tourists can relive the old way of traveling through a visit to Donegal Railway Heritage Museum.
After your era trek to the days when steam trains still rule the highway, you can plot a trip to Donegal County Museum in Letterkenny, Donegal’s main town. The museum lies on a location which was once a part of the Letterkenny workhouse which has flourished in the early 18th century. This is a designated museum which means it takes full possession of any archaeological remnants belonging to the state. Tourists and visitors to this museum can marvel at excellent displays of significant bits that reflect the chronicles and accounts of Co. Donegal since the early Stone Age to the contemporary 20th century. What is more amazing with Donegal County Museum is that it opens up for free to anyone who wants to visit it. Truly, the greatest things in life come for free.
For more of this museum tripping, tourists can head on to Glenties for the Saint Connells Museum and Heritage Center. This center takes its guests to a spectacular feel of the past and wonders of natural life. Tourists can witness a splendid exhibit of wildlife, the railway collection, and history-relevant tributes. A trip to this museum is more like a travel to Donegal’s long forgotten age.
There is certainly nothing more information-filled trip than understanding the past and present of the place visited. Experience Donegal’s treasured past by a mere visit to these museums.
