Introducing this website

Louisburgh-Killeen Heritage present a short introduction to our archive

Proud & delighted to present our video showcasing the best of Louisburgh & Killeen Heritage. A rural utopia in south west Mayo, wind swept by the Atlantic Ocean with natural breath-taking landscape and enriched by the stories of the people who lived and those who continue to call Louisburgh-Killeen home. Thanks to all who made this video possible by participating and we are especially grateful to our partners in the iCAN Network, National Museum of Ireland, Creative Ireland, The Heritage Council & Ocean Media. We hope you will share & continue to support by sending your memories of Louisburgh & Killeen. There is so much to archive and so many wonderful stories to yet be told.
