点评:This Folk museum is the best we have been at by far. At first we were greeted by the owner Brian, a lovely man. He took us on a tour and he explained everything to us. He had all the history and the years on the tip of his tongue.
It’s a huge place and everything is in its proper place. There are more than 7000 antique, historical and novelty items ranging from pre- famine times to the recent past. It starts outside in the extensive yard with all the old horse drawn farm machinery and a threshing machine, all in good shape, as well as the old tools that were used at the time.
Inside, starts off with the country shop with weights and measures, etc. Next I think was the chemist shop. Then there was a street scene with reconstructed shops and a pub and shop together as it was then. There was also the shoemaker’s equipment, the dairy, the churns for making butter. There is much more than I can think of, all fascinating. There is also a section for antique cars and the travelling shop which was very popular and essential in rural Ireland.
There are also some items of furniture from author, John McGahern’s home place. There is plenty of parking and toilet facilities.
Thank you Brian. You are the best tour guide and the place is a credit to you.

翻译:这家民俗博物馆是我们迄今为止参观过的最好的。首先,热情友好的主人布莱恩热情地接待了我们。他带我们参观了博物馆,并向我们详细讲解了所有细节。他能把博物馆的历史和年代娓娓道来。
博物馆规模宏大,一切都井然有序。馆内收藏着超过7000件古董、历史文物和新奇物品,年代跨度从饥荒前到近代。博物馆从宽阔的院子里开始,院子里摆放着各种保存完好的老式马拉农具、一台脱粒机,以及当时使用的各种古老工具。
博物馆内部,首先映入眼帘的是乡村商店,里面摆放着各种度量衡器具等。接下来,我想应该是药店了。接下来是街景,商店、酒吧和商店都按照当时的面貌重建。此外,还有制鞋设备、奶制品厂、制作黄油的搅拌器等。馆内还有更多我意想不到的展品,每一样都令人着迷。这里还有古董车区和旅行商店,这在爱尔兰乡村非常受欢迎,必不可少。
这里还有一些来自作家约翰·麦格汉故居的家具。这里有充足的停车位和卫生间。
谢谢你,布莱恩。你是最棒的导游,这个地方值得你称赞。
