Step back in time at the Kerry Bog Village Museum to see how people lived in the 18th century. Learn about turf harvesting and traditional Kerry life.

The Kerry Bog Village Museum is situated half way between Killorglin and Glenbeigh on the main Ring of Kerry route in County Kerry.

The museum gives visitors the opportunity to enjoy a step back in time to the early 18th century to recapture the way life would have been at that time. Peat, or turf as it is usually called in Ireland, was harvested from bogs.

The village is here to preserve the past for your enjoyment. This is a most worthwhile and historic visit to see the real Kerry life as it was, in the heart of Kerry's bogland.

The Kerry Bog Village Museum is adjacent to the Red Fox Inn Bar and Restaurant which is open seven days a week.
