Ebook launched on the acclaimed Nore View Folk Museum...
 
The Nore View Folk Museum is possibly the most enthralling and astonishing collection of artifacts and memorabilia you’ll ever set eyes upon, even including state managed museums in any part of the world.

Visitors over the years to the County Kilkenny, Ireland based venue outside the village of Bennettsbridge have drawn sharp intakes of breath when they stepped through its doors to behold the vast treasure trove of exhibits: old threshing engines, a traditional Irish moonshine making apparatus, farming tools dating to the Iron and Stone Ages, relics of the 1840's Great Famine and Irish Land War, household appliances from all the decades of the 19th and 20th centuries, a fabulous coin collection, radio sets from the dawn of the wireless era to the present day, a complete blacksmith’s forge, a recreated ancient Irish pub, war memorabilia, ancient chamber pots, vintage petrol pumps, police batons of the twentieth century.

The list goes on... more than 12,000 exhibits in all...an Aladdin’s Cave of historical curios guaranteed to draw you deeper and deeper into what a local newspaper described as “a veritable time capsule.”

The grounds of the museum are likewise festooned with exhibits: old tractors and farm machinery, and cannons used in the countless wars that ravaged Ireland through the ages.

This ebook celebrates the Nore View Folk Museum and will, I hope, spread the word in cyberspace about this collection and its wonderful curator.
