Old Irish Ways
About This Museum
You won't find Old Irish Ways on a typical tourist map, and that's precisely its charm. Tucked away in the Limerick countryside, this museum feels less like an institution and more like stepping directly into a forgotten chapter of Irish life. It’s a place where the scent of old wood and turf smoke seems to cling to the artifacts. The collections are arranged with a quiet thoughtfulness that encourages you to linger and imagine the hands that once used these objects.
Collection Highlights
Look for the humble yet profound items: a complete cobbler's bench, its leather worn smooth by generations of repairs, sits near a collection of butter-making tools. Don't miss the intimate domestic corners, where simple pottery and well-mended textiles tell richer stories than any crown jewel ever could.
Visitor Information
It's out in Bruff, so having your own transport is key—the journey through the rolling green hills is part of the experience. Just follow the signs for Cahirguillamore; you'll know you've arrived when you see the unassuming stone building that looks like it grew from the land itself.
Architecture & Building
Housed in a beautifully preserved Georgian-era farmhouse, its plain but elegant stone facade and slate roof speak to a time of dignified rural simplicity.
