Carrickmacross Workhouse is one of South Monaghan’s stand-out visitor attractions 🌟

Behind its grand façade, the original children’s dormitory, artworks by local artists, a spellbinding audio-visual experience and an impassioned guided tour bring to life the stories of the men, women and children crammed into the building during the Great Famine.

Discover, too, the heartbreaking story of the teenage girls sent from Irish workhouses to Australia, where they became wives and servants to settlers and former convicts.

A powerful, moving and unforgettable visit.

Pre-book a tour (Mon-Fri, 11.45am and 2pm) by contacting [email protected] 📧
