The museum is dedicated to the collection, preservation and display of military memorabilia heritage. All artefacts are donated by families of former service men and women and show their careers involving local, national and international events in which they participated.
A range of over 4,500 items cover all periods from Carlow Castle, 1798 Rebellion, 1916 Rising and World War One and Two. Extensive reference material can be used by school groups, tourists, authors and researchers.
Come and see us in preserving our community’s past for visitors and Carlovians of the future.
