Carrickfergus Museum

Located in the heart of the town, the new Carrickfergus Museum explores centuries of history through a range of fascinating collections that are being displayed in their home town for the first time.  Originally established as an Anglo-Norman town in the twelfth century, it was the pre-eminent centre for administration and trade in the north of Ireland until it was overtaken by Belfast in the 1700s.  Carrickfergus is the most excavated town in Northern Ireland and the finds provide a remarkable glimpse of life in medieval and later times.
