The Inniskillings Museum
About This Museum
People don't just come to the Inniskillings Museum for the history; they come for a connection to the generations from this corner of Ireland who served across the globe. Tucked within the ancient stone walls of Enniskillen Castle, it feels less like a formal gallery and more like a deeply personal archive. You'll find everything from ceremonial uniforms to poignant letters home, each object telling a small, human part of a much larger regimental story. The overall effect is surprisingly intimate, transforming distant battles into tangible acts of courage and sacrifice by local people.
Collection Highlights
Look for the battle-worn colours of the 27th (Inniskilling) Regiment from Waterloo and the silver drums presented after service in India. The collection of medals and soldiers' personal effects, like a carefully preserved diary, are particularly moving.
Visitor Information
You'll find it all within Enniskillen Castle itself—just follow the signs to the Castle Barracks. It's a perfect wet-weather plan, but you'll want to leave time to explore the castle grounds and the stunning Fermanagh scenery afterwards.
Architecture & Building
The museum is housed in a robust, 16th-century castle on the banks of the River Erne, its grey stone walls and strategic location speaking volumes about its original defensive purpose.
