Museum of Country Life – Turlough Park, Castlebar. Only 15 minutes drive from Pontoon Bridge Hotel Mayo, here you can immerse yourself in the lives of our rural ancestors from the mid - 19th to the mid - 20th centuries. Lifestyles which were established for several hundred years came to an end well into living memory, and here amidst furniture and fittings, the tools they used to work the land and the clothes and textiles they wore, you can reach out and touch those vanished lives. Turlough Park is the site of the first de Burgo castle and the impressive High Victorian Gothic style house was built in 1865 by the Fitzgeralds, who farmed the surrounding land. Today the museum offers guided tours, an audio – visual exhibition, lectures, workshops, special events, family days, a museum shop & cafe. Museum of Country Life |
