Donegal County Museum

The Donegal County Museum sits in a stone building on High Road and displays collections that document the region's history. The exhibition features archaeological finds, written records, and objects from different time periods.

The building was originally constructed in 1843 as the residence for the workhouse administrator. It later became a museum and opened to the public in 1987.

The museum displays how people lived in the region across many generations, from crafts to everyday objects and customs. You can see how local ways of life changed through different periods and what mattered to the community.

The museum welcomes visitors throughout the week with set opening hours. You should check the current schedule before your visit, as hours may vary seasonally.
