The Sheep And Wool Heritage Centre

The Sheep and Wool Heritage Centre displays the complete process of transforming raw sheep fleece into finished cloth through demonstrations on traditional equipment.

The museum contains an extensive collection of spinning wheels and looms from the early 1900s that illustrate the development of wool processing in Connemara.

Local farmers demonstrate traditional sheep shearing techniques during summer months, maintaining the connection between Irish agriculture and textile production.

The center opens daily from March to October, 9:30 AM to 6 PM, with entrance fees of 10 euros for adults and 4 euros for children.

Visitors can listen to recorded interviews of local residents sharing their memories of sheep farming and wool production methods from previous generations.
