Description: Roscommon is not just a beautiful county full of lakes and forests, it has a rich and varied history that goes back to ancient times when it was the home of Queen Méadhbh, before being ruled over by the Kings of Connaught/Connacht and then the High Kings of Ireland.
Roscommon is not just a beautiful county full of lakes and forests, it has a rich and varied history that goes back to ancient times.
All of this history is celebrated at the Roscommon History Club.
In the west are burial mounds, caves and other ancient monuments on the site of Rathcroghan, the home of Queen Méadhbh (Maeve), with more recent historical sites including Strokestown Park, a Georgian Palladian mansion with walled gardens that is now home to the Irish National Famine Museum, which recounts the effects of the potato blight of 1845-1852.
