What to expect
The centre includes the Fitzgerald Family Tree Mural, a John F Kennedy 1963 Limerick Visit Photo Exhibition, and an exhibition from the Caroline Kennedy visit of 2013 including the plaque Caroline unveiled on her visit. There is a display acknowledging the Irish Army guard of honour used at John F Kennedy’s funeral, and a display of memorabilia relating to the Fitzgerald family.
The visitor centre is a treat for anybody with even a passing interest in this celebrated family. The centre is managed by a local community organization who have real pride in the wonderful story of the area.
A trip to the centre can be combined with a friendly cuppa at the Community Café next door, and a visit to the fascinating Old Irish Ways Museum, just a short distance away. With a visit to the Stone Circle at Grange, a stop off in the magical Lough Gur, a stroll through Morning Star Park, and a walk through the Binn Lisin, you will have trouble fitting in all in during your visit to the beautiful Bruff, County Limerick.
