The Fethard Folk Farm and Transport Museum, in Fethard County Tipperary, specialises in transport as well as folk and farm life. The Museum is housed in a detached three bay single storey railway goods shed, originally built in 1879, and now in use as venue for car boot sales. Explore over twelve hundred exhibits in the museum. An extension at the rear of the building houses hearses and horse drawn carriages.

The grounds include a café, picnic facilities, toilets, provision for the disabled, a well equipped playground and ample free parking.

Every Sunday throughout the year there is a collector's market and car boot sale, where one can find all sorts of treasures from cutlery to anchors.
