Due to Covid 19 restrictions, tours to Seán MacDiarmada’s cottage must be made through Kiltyclogher Heritage Centre and is to the exterior of the building.
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.

The tourists continued arriving to Kiltyclogher this week. Brendan Mc Nee a resident of Brighton who has been enjoying a biking tour of Ireland declared his visit to the Heritage Centre and the Mac Diarmada homestead to be the highlight of his holiday. We had a great chat with Brendan a native of Berningham who has close Irish connections. His Mother was from near Westport County Mayo while his father hailed from Galway. It was really lovely to meet you Brendan. Stay in touch with us and call to see us next time your back in Ireland.
Although, it is late in the tourist season we are still drawing the crowds to Kiltyclogher. We hosted a lovely group of visitors from Limerick at the Heritage Centre last week. The Cappaghmore Historical Association enjoyed a viewing of the MacDiarmada Homestead before calling in with us to hear the story of Seán of Diarmada, his personal and political life. It was wonderful to meet you all and thank you so much for the five star google review.
