Glenview Folk Museum — Attraction in County Leitrim

My husband and I found this place in a brochure and decided to see what it was like. It is so unique in that it’s a time capsule of Irish history. One room is dedicates to over 4000 egg cups from all over the world! Beautifully displayed in glass cases.

They have beautiful restored cars, trucks, fire trucks, farm machinery…just to name a few.

Our amazing guide, Eugene, taught us so much about items in this extensive collection. Many of these treasures were items we never even knew existed!

Glenview Folk Museum is set up to display different places such as a butcher shop, a telegraph operator, a shoe maker, a general store, war remnants…too much to mention but well worth the visit!!

Would happily recommend this museum to adults & children alike . We had a lovely coffee & scone afterwards in “The...
