Guided tours to Seán Mac Diarmada’s house can be arranged in advanced through the Heritage Centre.
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.

One of Seán Mac Diarmada's greatest devotees Kevin MC Cann visited the cottage and expressed his passion.He hopes to finish his film The Rising and we are all keeping our fingers crossed. Seán may yet be in his rightful place among'st the Signatories of the 1916 Rising .
Thank you Kevin and we hope you get all the help you deserve.

John and Lilly Pryde arrived to the centre on speculation alone.
I was very lucky to be there at the time as He turned out to be the Grandson of Patrick McDermott,who was the 1st cousin of Seán Mac Diarmada. The family lived in Ardmoneen, neighboring town land of Laghty Barr before they moved to Scotland .
We had great conversations about his family and the time Seán stayed and worked in Princes street gardens and of course a tour of the cottage coffee and cake😀

Paul Stone wrote this fantastic song for Seán Mac Diarmada and it features in the latest documentary by Marcus Howard .The screening was a wonderful success and a lot of people asked me who wrote the songs.
Well Mick Blake wrote "Seán Mac Diarmada (The Pride of Corranmore)"

Both songs had a profound effect on the Documentary.Micks song can be found on the link above on YouTube and Paul's can be seen on the link below.Have a nice weekend everyone
A song I wrote about Sean McDermott, one of the leaders of the 1916 Rising. I had the honour of singing this song in Sean McDermott's house, in Kiltyclogher, Co. Leitrum
