We house an exhibition about the 1916 Proclamation signatory Seán MacDiarmada. The exhibition contains an audio-visual facility and interpretive panels, providing visitors with information about Seán MacDiarmada and the history of the locality.
Seán 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.

A really lovely group of visitors from London arrived into the Heritage Centre today. Moira, Andy, Maggie and Paul who are based in Blacklion for their stay included a visit to us and the Macdiarmada homestead on their tour itenary of local attractions. Sisters Moira and Maggie have strong West Cavan connections being the daughters of Tommy Mc Manus originally from Tawneymakelly and Maggie Hynes from Monesk. Although born and bred in London Maggie and Moira have fond recollections of visits home to Ireland and we had a great chat about mutual acquaintances in the Monragh/Gowlan area from where my own family orginate. Also coincidentally we discovered that both our mothers trained as nurses at Tilbury Hospital around the same time. Perhaps they even knew each other. Moira Maggie Paul and Andy it was really lovely to meet you all and please make sure to call with us again anytime you are back in the area.
