Welcome to the Irish Palatine Museum and Heritage Centre
About the Association
Since its inception in 1989 the Irish Palatine Association has endeavoured to preserve the rich heritage of Irish Palatine Culture by encouraging and developing a sense of Identity among Irish Palatine families and their descendants around the world and by re-kindling a relationship with their ancestral homeland, Rheinland-Pfalz in Germany.

Irish Palatine (International) Centre
The Irish Palatine Heritage Centre houses an exhibition that seeks to re-present in detail the Irish Palatine experience ranging from their German places of origin, to their colonisation and settlement in Ireland, and their subsequent scattering all over the English speaking world.

Due emphasis is placed on the Palatines' innovative contribution to Irish farming life and on their formative role in the development of world Methodism. The Centre features an extensive display of artefacts, photographs, graphics etc. associated with the Palatine story. It is set in landscaped surroundings and includes an archive, a tea-room, gift selection and bus/car park.
