Welcome to the Kiltyclogher Heritage Centre and Seán Mac Diarmada’s Home
Kiltyclogher Heritage Centre houses an exhibition about 1916 Proclamation signatory Sean MacDiarmada. The exhibition contains an audio-visual facility and interpretive panels, providing visitors with information about Sean MacDiarmada and the history of the locality. Our Heritage Centre was officially opened in November 2014 and is located in the former Court House building in the centre of Kiltyclogher.
Sean MacDiarmada’s family cottage is only a few kilometres outside the village in Corranmore.The cottage is a designated National Monument owned and maintained in its original condition by the Office of Public Works. It is of considerable historic importance as it is a fine example of a traditional Irish cottage and gives an insight into what life may have been like 100 years ago.

Descendants of Seán Mac Diarmada visit his homestead in Corranmore, Co Leitrim. Wonderful afternoon with the MacDermott ,Mylonas and Keaney families.
Had a wonderful day with Danny and Lorraine Keaney at the Heritage Centre and Seán Mac Diarmada's house.
It was a pleasant surprise to find a new sign in the car park when the tour was over and even more surprising to see a family of pigs not so far from the house on the way to the school at Corracloon where Seán spent his youth training to be a teacher.
Danny( a descendant of the famous family has kindly offered an oil painting of Seán and some very interesting artifacts to the centre which we are all very grateful.
