- 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!!!
