On display is an innovative permanent exhibition detailing the immense wealth of archaeological and historical interest to be found in Cong and it's environs, dating back to pre-historic times. The exhibition was compiled by leading archaeologist Michael Gibbons who has published a new historical guide and map covering the archaeology and history of Cong from 7,000BC up to the 19th century. Mr. Gibbons has previously lectured to the National Geography Society and the Smithsonian Institute in Washington. The new guide will be available at the reception for those wishing to study more into the archaeology and history of Cong.
There is now in place a new centre of learning for school groups where history is taught not only by text but by beautiful illustrations and models. Field trips and guided tours are available from the centre. Guided archaeological and historical tours of Cong and Connemara available. Experience for yourself this unique journey into the past.
