Kilkenny Famine Experience

MacDonagh Junction have launched the Kilkenny Famine Experience, a free, self-guided, audio visual tour that will recall the human story of the Kilkenny famine inmates around the buildings of the former famine Workhouse (now Workhouse Square, MacDonagh Junction). Visit Workhouse Square to see the old structure merged with modern award winning architecture, visit the memorial garden at Goods Shed Square, see the crypt and beautiful bronze sculpture depicting John and Patrick Saul, two young boys that stayed in the workhouse in 1842. View the restored storage buildings of the MacDonagh train station which are also on the site.

This multimedia guide is designed to accompany you through the Kilkenny Famine Experience.
