The “Leitrim Women Through Time” project invite you to visit Leitrim’s Pop-up Women’s Museum ! Curated by Scéal Heritage Consultancy, this temporary museum of Leitrim women’s history includes the display of the “Leitrim Women Through Time: 1850 – 1950” travelling museum exhibition, and is accompanied by a display of objects from rural women’s history; with examples from women’s work inside and outside the home, women’s craft, and women’s personal lives.

Included are a wide variety of objects from everyday rural women’s lives including an antique Singer sewing machine, spinning wheel, butter churn, washboard, Clones lace, Irish linen, and vintage household books and women’s magazines.

This is a relaxed drop-in event – call in for a browse and the chance to chat about local women’s history.

We would love for people to bring along their own photographs, documents, and objects linked to local women’s history to the Museum to be recorded by our “Leitrim Women Through Time” community heritage project. We will scan, copy, and photograph all shared information and objects to add to the project archive for preservation for the future.

We would also like to offer people the opportunity to temporarily display their own objects linked to rural women in the pop-up museum – please get in touch if you’d like to exhibit your own items of everyday women’s history.

No advance booking required – this is a free drop-in event during Drumkeeran Old Fair Day, with everyone welcome
