Fr. McDyer's Folk Village Museum recreates a village or `clachan', where
the houses are exact replicas of the dwellings used by local people in
the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries. Steeped in culture, tradition and
language, the museum depicts bygone lifestyles in SouthWest Donegal
through an interpretative centre, craft shop, teahouse, schoolhouse,
sheebeen and thatched cottages. Each house is equipped with the
furniture, artifacts and utensils of its particular period.
