irish famine & cottier cottages

28/9/2020

The "Irish Famine & Cottier Cabins" virtual exhibit is now live at greatfaminevoices.ie/famine-cabins/

These fascinating videos by leading experts explore the lives of some of Ireland's poorest, and the cottier cabins they inhabited.

Discover how the cabins' occupants endured the Famine as reflected in their vernacular architecture and sparse furnishings, archaeological remains, folk memory, and visual and literary arts. Learn more about the archaeological excavations and archival records of famine era evictions and emigration from the Strokestown Park Estate, home of the National Famine Museum.

The Irish Famine and Cottier Cabins exhibition is hosted by the National Famine Museum at Strokestown Park, the Irish Agricultural Museum at Johnstown Castle and the Irish Heritage Trust. It is supported by the Department of Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht under the 2020 Cooperation with Northern Ireland Funding Scheme.
