Our Class Trip To Derryglad Folk & Heritage Museum
I thought that Derryglad was very Good. I really enjoyed the tour around the museum. I liked seeing all the old things from years ago. The school, how people lived years ago and how they did their washing, food and all other facts. There was many objects to look at and I got to see them all. I looked at a view pictures as well… I honestly did like our trip to Derryglad museum and I am hoping to go back there again SOON.
Hopefully ye will enjoy it as much as I did

School Tour
Children from second, third and fourth classes thoroughly enjoyed their tour of the museum and the old classroom.The children loved browsing through the 7500 items. The guide was very nice and friendly and explained all the information at an appropriate level for that age group. It is a predominantly indoor complex but suitable for all weather.
