I found the audio visual film excellent, great historian telling the background and story. Lovely to see the old furniture, equipment and machinery.

Impressive historical centre in Boolavogue, Ferns, Wexford, memorial to 1798 rebellion heroes, with haunting moving audio video. Typical period farm house, farm features plus excellent Wexford farm machinery collection.

A short visit location. Dog friendly and fully Wheelchair accessible. The admission while affordable was a bit steep for what was there.

A great little spot to visit with children or friends, cafe open all day to have a bite to eat plenty of room to walk around and discover the past.

Run by local volunteers the centre is full of historic anecdotes and facts. Revisit the 1798 rebellion, with a video reenactment and finish of the day with a tea or coffee with the locally sourced scones(delicious). Well worth a visit.
