Portraying Irish life from the 1840s until the present day, Doagh Famine Village features authentic thatched cottages filled with period furniture and other everyday artifacts. This living history museum allows you to see how the country's rural areas changed over the last two centuries, dealing with dramatic events that included a series of devastating potato famines. As you take this walk through history, look for reconstructions of typical daily scenes, which explain regional beliefs associated with the traditional waking of the dead. Admission into the village includes a guided tour, along with a complimentary snack with hot beverages and biscuits.

July 6, 2017A warm welcome from the staff, very informative and we'll run. The food 5 star good wholesome portions. The scenery outstanding and breathtaking. Definitely worth the long trip from Co Down to Donegal. 😊

June 29, 2017Fantastic location and a great way to pass a few hours, museum was interesting but go's into a bit more than the famine which maybe should be told to people before they enter. Very good restaurant with stunning views, overall well worth a visit.
