Pearse Museum and St Enda's Park

Músaem na bPiarsach

MuseumLocal favourite

The house where Patrick Pearse ran his Irish-language school from 1910 until the 1916 Rising, set in almost 20 hectares of parkland with a wild river valley, woods and 18th- and 19th-century follies. Rathfarnham families use the park daily; few visitors know the museum is here.
