Tipperary Museum of Hidden History

Tipperary Museum of Hidden History is a state-of-the-art visitor experience in the center of Clonmel, Co. Tipperary in the heart of Ireland’s Ancient East. Completely re-imagined and redesigned the new Museum brings Tipperary’s rich hidden history vividly to life through characters, and stories and is one of the largest museum collections in Ireland. 

Expect to be surprised and intrigued by what you find! While exploring wonderful Tipperary and enjoying the rich racing history of the county, a visit to Tipperary Museum brings to life the stories of past generations and captures the essence of a county in Ireland’s thoroughbred story.

You will make your way across the road to Channons Forge to meet Joe Channon, a third-generation farrier (responsible for making horseshoes). Joe will demonstrate the ancient craft of a farrier. You’ll witness the rich traditions, techniques, and raw materials in this unique hands-on encounter. Immerse yourself in the sights, sounds, and smells of this one-of-a-kind experience.
