    Incredible step back through time in Lucan history and The Donnellys. So many actual artifacts from the family, super cool seeing the replica of the original tombstone. Out back from the museum is a cabin in the same layout as the Donnellys house, pretty cool walking through. Thomas was so helpful and kind, he even opened on a day they are generally closed to accommodate my visit in from out of town. Very lovely chatting with him and speaking with someone who is also excited and passionate about this subject. He has a map for three other spots in town you can visit that are all less than five mins away (the donnelly homestead, the school house the vigilante crew gathered at before walking up the roman line to slay the Donnellys and the church where one of the sons was married + where the murdered bodies are lain with the newer tombstone. Just magical. Great experience for history and true crime buffs.

    I have been following the Donnelly story since high school, but never had the chance to visit the museum. Finally made my way there last week and was amazed. The house recreation in back is amazing, and the artifacts in the museum a site to see. The staff was very pleasant and well worth the time to see. Would highly recommend.

    Found this story in history very interesting. Loved seeing all the old tools and devices of the times at the museum. The old house was very cool. Had a much more enjoyable time there then I was expecting and that goes for the other 2 people I went with as well. With that being said....I would've liked to see the narrative on the bus a little more in tune with the the location of where the bus was. The lady did a good job telling the story...it just seemed a bit rushed through, leaving me wonder where some of the locations were that they were discussing. Another suggestion would be for the Museum to have a step stool to aid the elderly/disabled to climb into bus. Overall, very enjoyable and interesting. We were there for approx. 2 hours. Would recommend to others for sure!!

    Interesting not the most accessible for folks with liw vision. The 20.min film had the voices portraying Donnellys as having a Scottish not Irish accent and certainly not from Tipp

    Very informative and interesting. The guides were well trained and knowledgeable. Masks were still required August of 2022 which made my visit shorter than I would have liked as I am asthmatic and can only wear a mask for a short period of time. Other than that it was a perfect experience.

    Wasn't expecting much when I walked in. The front museum wasn't that big but organized. However, the staff was great by showing me around, explaining some of the artifacts. I was really blown away by the cabin and barn though. Those two alone worth more than the admission price already. Really impressed by the knowledge of the young staff.

    Amazing experience if your into local history. The young girl with the black hair working the cash and doing the guided tour was absolutely amazing. She answered all our questions and tool us out to the old barn and the replica donnelly house. She was really cool and could tell she really enjoyed what she was doing. I'd highly recommend this place if you want to learn the story of the donnellys and local history.

    What a lovely time at this museum! Tons of information and the friendlist staff. Kathleen took us around and showed us all the ins and outs of the displays, we will absolutely be back again this summer with more friends!

    There are lots of interesting factors for sure. Definitely watch the movie first and then do the walk around. Thanks again for having us

    An experience and memories I will never forge. Just outstanding. If you are going nearby don't forget to go and have a great experience in the escape room, don't miss the great museum and its rich history.

    Been wanting to go here for a while soon after I heard about the story of the Donnelly brother's. This did not disappoint. Amazing piece of history and the guide we had was very knowledgeable. Well worth the visit

    Its a spectacular museum. Housing so much more than just The Donnelly legacy.
