culkins emigration museum

Culkin's Emigration Museum relives a poignant era when emigration was the only hope for a better life, a finality in itself, when whole families were scattered to the winds of fortune, some never to return.

The Museum, on a site where once stood the gateway to new worlds in the form of Daniel Culkin's Shipping and Emigration Agency, brings back to life this landmark - which operated from the 19th century right up to the 1930's - in a purpose built modern museum, with a host of fascinating artefacts and features, such as the original shop itself, now restored and housed within the building. Refreshments available.
