Events/Upcoming Shows
Thursday 17th, October 2024
This evening at 7:30 PM, Drogheda Museum Millmount in County Louth will host a special event, inviting visitors to explore the fascinating history of one of Ireland’s most significant heritage sites. Doors will open at 7:00 PM, and attendees will be treated to an insightful presentation led by local paranormal investigators, Jenny and Louise from Emerald Isle Paranormal Researchers, sharing their experiences of many years researching this historic building.
Described as "one of the finest town museums in Ireland", Drogheda Museum Millmount is located in a prominent fort that overlooks the town of Drogheda, known as the gateway to the Boyne Valley. The museum, housed within this historic fort, is home to a wealth of historical artefacts and exhibitions that chart the town’s turbulent and storied past.
As the oldest surviving centre of settlement in Drogheda, Millmount has played a crucial role throughout the centuries. Positioned on a large mound that is visible from almost every part of the town, the fort has witnessed numerous key events in Irish history, from medieval times through to the more modern conflicts.
The entire fort is now part of the Millmount Cultural Quarter, a vibrant area that not only features the museum but also offers a range of cultural and artisan experiences. Visitors can enjoy craft shops, art galleries, a café, and an artisan food centre, making it a lively hub for both locals and tourists.
During tonight's event, attendees will hear first-hand accounts of paranormal investigations held at the fort, with stories spanning many years of research and exploration. The event will also provide an opportunity for questions, offering a deeper understanding of Drogheda's unique place in Irish history.
For those with an interest in Irish heritage's spookier side, this event promises to be an enriching experience, set in one of County Louth's most important historical landmarks.
