Muckross Traditional Farms

t Muckross Traditional Farms we invite you

to take a stroll down memory lane to visit Ireland in the 1930s and 1940s. This was a period before the widespread use of electricity, when all work was carried out using traditional methods.

You will visit three separate working farms (small , medium and large), each complete with animals, poultry and horse drawn farm machinery.

You will also visit a labourer's cottage, a carpenter's workshop, a harness maker and a blacksmith's forge.

The interiors of the dwelling houses are furnished in the traditional manner, and include such items as the dresser, settlebed and mealbin.

Each year Muckross Traditional Farms play host to Féile Chultúir Chiarraí (Festival of Kerry Culture). This event consists of a series of workshops specifically designed for primary school pupils.

Muckross Traditional Farms recently received a Sandford Educational Award in recognition of the eduactional quality of Feile Chuiltuir Chiarrai and the Muckross Traditional Farms experience.This project is run with the help of Kerry County Council and some local sponsorship. It is the first time this very prestigous award has been received by a organisation outside of the United Kingdom.
