The History of North Clare in 100 Objects


THE HISTORY OF NORTH CLARE IN 100 OBJECTS

Wednesday February 15th  at 8pm in the Gallery

The history of North Clare is encapsulated in all kinds of objects from the High Crosses
 at Kilfenora to the lowly creamery can left abandoned at Lismorahan.


So far in the series we have had a wonderful cross-section of historical times through a
 presentation of stone age axe heads – traditional bilingual stories – school roll books
 – a wheel barrow an old brehon law text – fishing nets – needle work and craft objects


An interesting feature has emerged of how important local ballads are in recording and 
transmitting local history of events and characters.

This meeting will have a particular emphasis on letter writing 
and the importance of communication and the post in our story.


History is lying and dying all around us
if only the walls could speak”

All welcome
