Discover how the town of Athlone regenerated itself following its destruction in the late 17th century. Follow the story of Athlone over the next 250 years and explore an extensive display of artefacts/objects representing Athlone’s indigenous industries, religion, communication, education and military history. A comprehensive timeline from 800AD to the present day encapsulates the events that shaped the town of Athlone. Learn how Athlone rediscovered its importance following its catastrophic destruction. The exhibition is designed like a patchwork quilt, a fabric of sorts, detailing the town’s eventual growth and prosperity.
