"The museum was founded in 1995 and in July 2001 the museum opened in its
current location on the Athy Road, Carlow Town.
One of the museums main displays features the uniforms of the Irish
Defence Forces. The Defence Forces service in UN peacekeeping missions in
the Congo, Lebanon and Somalia is the focus of other displays.
Another feature of the museum is the reconstruction of a World War One
trench. One of the museum directors has recently written a book on Carlow Soldiers in the Great War entitled: 'Follow Them Up From Carlow'
Other displays include the Irish War of Independence, Civil War. Our Audio/Visual display includes footage of the War of Independence and Civil War in Ireland.
The 8th Militia Battalion Kings Royal Rifle Corps / Carlow Rifles / Carlow Militia is the focus of another display. We have a wide range of displays relating to Carlow soldiers who have served in army's around the world along with armoured vehicle production in Carlow Town during the 1940's and a new display called the Medieval Soldier."
We are currently researching the history of Carlow Military Barracks. It was constructed around 1796 and was in continuous use until 1923 when it was used as a hospital. It was demolished in the 1980's. Any information you may have in relation to the barracks would be greatly appreciated.
