PLAN
Monreagh Heritage Centre is dedicated to preserving and showcasing the rich history of the Ulster Scots and Scots Irish communities.
Historical Significance
Housed in a beautifully restored 19th-century manse, the centre offers visitors an immersive journey into the lives of 17th-century Scottish settlers and their significant contributions to industry and politics, particularly in the United States and Canada.
Exhibitions and Collections
Each room within the manse focuses on distinct aspects of Ulster Scots and Scots Irish history, featuring original photographs, paintings, and memorabilia. The centre also provides access to local historical records, aiding visitors in tracing their family ancestry. Notably, a nearby 17th-century Scottish church, established in 1644, remains active to this day.
Events and Educational Programs
Monreagh Heritage Centre hosts regular music, cultural, and industrial events, along with ‘Living History’ projects tailored for schools, enriching the community’s cultural landscape.
As part of a self-guided tour, visitors can view a rarely seen collection of original photographs, paintings, and other memorabilia. A selection of local historical records is also available which helps visitors to trace their family history. A few yards from the Visitor Center is a seventeenth century Scottish Church that was established in 1644. A congregation still worships there to the present day.
