Balbriggan & District Historical Society are delighted that our Pop-Up Museum will return on October 12th and 13th as part of the Fingal Festival of History. Thanks to everyone who called in to visit and discussed the exhibits, shared your stories, and those who donated artefacts for the display over the two weekends earlier this summer. We look forward to again displaying a small sample of the significant number of our historical Artefacts and photographs and videos which are of huge local and national interest. The exhibition will feature The People and Places of Balbriggan and topics featured will include the Linen & textile industry including Smyco, Harry Reynolds, Tommy Caffrey, Sinéad DeValera, Bremore Castle, and some of our extensive 1893 local Balbriggan photo collection.

The exhibition will take place in the Pop Up Museum space on the corner of Clonard St and Bridge St, beside Central Pub from 12 to 5pm each day. All are welcome and admission is free.
