KERRY WRITERS' MUSEUM

Kerry Writers' Museum collects, safeguards, holds in trust, displays and interprets a variety of material and objects relating to the rich literary heritage of County Kerry, and the cultural, social & political heritage of Listowel & North Kerry. We provide a wide range of socially inclusive cultural & educational events & activities for the lifelong discovery and enjoyment of the works & lives of the Kerry writers and the cultural, social & political heritage of Listowel and North Kerry... Our story began way back in 1994 with the then newly established North Kerry Literary Task Force. Its core motivating factor was to develop a centre of literary and cultural excellence which would serve as an appropriate venue to honour and acknowledge the County's literary figures. Construction and refurbishment work commenced on the museum in 1997 and it was officially opened in April 2001. Over the past 22 years our museum has developed into a dynamic community enterprise catering for visitors..
