5th classes visited the Carlow County Museum this Thursday. It was a great tour and a huge thanks to John McDarby and his team for showing us around. We saw

  • a pub, kitchen and shop from the 1920’s
  • the original gallows trapdoor from Carlow Gaol;
  • the 6m carved pulpit from Carlow Cathedral;
  • items from Carlow’s Sugar Factory, which operated for almost 80 years;
  • the smoking pipe of Captain Myles Keogh, killed at the Battle of Little Big Horn;
  • items relating to John Tyndall, the Carlow scientist who discovered the greenhouse effect;
  • a 340 million-year-old fossilized squid

and much more!!!
