We had a great tour of the medieval mile museum. It was a great way to learn about the deep history of Kilkenny, which is still being discovered! The museum is beautiful and the artifacts inside are so fascinating. We showed up late to our tour and were still accommodated with kindness and just as much effort as if we were on time!

For such a seemingly small museum, we received a wealth of knowledge from our tour guide Lynn. She was a great guide who was passionate about the history of the museum and the town of Kilkenny in general! She also gave us great recommendations for other places to visit while in town.
