We called Charlie and Bridie if we could come and see their museum. They opened the doors for us even though we came along when it was not officially open. The two of them are so lovely and explain to you everything you wanna know about the wonderful objects which have been collected over the years. I felt like I was on a journey back in time. I like nostalgia so I love places where you can dream away in phantasies about how evereything must have been in former times. We liked the fact that it was such a rural area and a lot of stuff which has been typical for rural areas. I really recommend to see that place and meet that lovely couple. Plan at least on hour for your stay. There is so much to see and you can sense how much love they have given into the collecting and the arrangements of the objects...

Amazing, had a lovely afternoon visiting this Museum which recently celebrated 25 years open. The private vast collection is very well curated and a credit to the owners Charlie and his wife Bridie. We received a very warm welcome from them, they were very informative about their collection. It really is a labour of love. The Horse drawn carriage and the trap are worth seeing, they are so well presented and preserved. A visit is a must, you will not be disappointed.

Well worth a visit . It’s one of those places where there is something of interest to just about everyone. You definitely do step back in time as soon as you enter . Great way to spend a couple of hours , the owner is always there on hand if there are any questions .

Brilliant little museum. Learned a lot about local history and Irish history in general. Charlie, the museum owner, would come around every once and a while to provide extra information on some exhibits which was great. Very interesting and very good value for money.

This was one of the best museums we ever visited. I was with my Mother & my two sons 11 & 13. All of us were engaged throughout the tour, it was so interesting as everything has a story and generated memories, leading to discussions with the children. It is a brilliant experience for all families & all age groups. Charlie is a fountain of knowledge and has a beautiful kindness about him that is reflected in his collection. We all thoroughly enjoyed the experience, thank you so much!

Visited as part of a mixed group of varying ages but a lot of seniors. Memories of childhood come flooding back as you wander around this fantastic space. Charlie is the best tour guide ever, he has built up this treasure trove over the years and has a story about every little piece, to say he loves what he does is an understatement, he brings everything back to life as you listen to him. Definitely recommend

We had a wonderful time at Derryglad Folk Museum. There is so much to see with a vast array of everything from years gone by. It's like stepping back in time and gives a truly authentic experience of what life was like in Ireland from the early 20th Century onwards. Mr. Finneran gave an excellent guided tour, explaining about the different types of equipment and machinery on display, we even got to listen to the gramophone, which the children were fascinated by. You could spend hours looking through everything that the display's offer. It's lovely to see such a beautiful collection of items and you can tell that the Finneran family have dedicated such time and attention to gathering this wonderful collection for everyone to enjoy. I'd highly recommend a visit to Derryglad Folk Museum, it has something for all ages and everyone seemed to really enjoy the afternoon Thank you Mr. Finneran and family for a lovely experience!

My wife and 10 yr old son learnt a lot from Charlie and Bridie. Charlie shared a wealth of knowledge with us. Despite there being a large group of other visitors he still found time to come to see how we were getting on. The collection is a credit to them both. I highly recommend a visit to anyone interested in history, who likes reliving past memories, and learning a lot. Thankyou for showing us.

A lovely trip down memory lane for older generations and great for the younger generations to hear stories and see how they lived many years ago. Lots of nostalgia and memorable items in the museum and Charlie was very happy to chat to us and all the other visitors and share his stories of old. A lovely place to visit for a couple of hours and revisit.

Such a wonderful wander down nostalgia lane. We relived childhood fun seeing the products and things we remember from our family home. Charlie was an enthusiastic host and we left like kids. We wondered at how difficult it must have been, cooking cleaning earning to keep a family. We revelled how every toy or book brought simple joy.
