Making Connections -'Tinryland Past and Present' Photographic Exhibition

To mark National Heritage Week and in tandem with 'Tinryland's Heritage Audio Guide' project, this Photographic Exhibition will capture the locality's rich history, heritage and community past and present.

The Exhibition will cover Tinryland's Heritage, encompassing the History of its Churches, School, Hall, Sports, ICA, Music, Theatre and all strands of life in the Community. Tracing the role of its people in the 1798 Rebellion and the Famine years, to modern every day life, the Exhibition will be all embracing.

For many, this event will be a trip down memory lane and the younger generation will get an idea of what life was like before the advent of modern technology.

Located in the heart of Ireland's Ancient East, the Exhibition will give a flavor of Tinryland's rich heritage and culture, with its trove of treasures, from the Neolithic burial find at Linkardstown, to the early Medieval Cross at Killogan, to the famed monastic settlement of Rath Melsigi where St. Willibrord once studied, to the Clonmelsh Burial Site of Walt Disney's ancestors and to the Ballybar Racecourse - once Ireland's Cheltenham.!

All are welcome to come to the Exhibition and share in Tinryland's heritage, history, culture and community.
The Exhibition is Free of Charge
