Cashel Folk Village/1916 Easter Rising Museum has also been independently described as A ONE/STOP/SHOP HISTORICAL MASTERCLASS in The Public Sector Magazine in the section called TAKE THE TOUR, covering , as it says itself, some of the best educational tours on offer to schools throughout the country.In the issue related to, it was one of the two sites recommended throughout the whole of Munster, the other recommended site being The Great Blasket Centre in Co. Kerry.
The real highlight of this museum, particularly because 2016 is the 100th Anniversary of The 1916 Easter Rising, is that it offers visitors the opportunity to see the ONLY 1916 Easter Rising/Irish War of Independence/Irish Civil War Museum COMBINED in Ireland. It also houses the ONLY 1916 Easter Rising Garden of Remembrance/Memorial Plaza in Ireland. Significantly, a huge amount of the memorabilia/artefacts on site are ORIGINALS, not copies, making it A MUST SEE EXPERIENCE.
