Battle of Aughrim Museum & Battlefield Trail
Battle of Aughrim Interpretative Centre is a heritage center that provides insight into the Battle of Aughrim on July 12, 1691, a significant moment of Irish history that cost 9,000 lives. Commemorated as the bloodiest battle of Irish history, Aughrim is referred to as the “Gettysburg of Ireland..”
This museum enables visitors to re-live the battle via a high-tech three-dimensional audio-visual presentation and “hands-on” multi-sensory displays. A tour takes about a half-hour; and afterwards, you can go outside and walk around the actual battlefield area.
