About Kinsale Museum

The Kinsale Museum is operated by the Kinsale Foundation, a group formed in 1977 by local residents to welcome newcomers and protect the village's environment and culture. The museum occupies a building that once held a tavern, a butcher shop, and other businesses. The Foundation received the building in 1989, restored it extensively, and opened the museum in 1993. Visitors can learn about the history of the riverfront community, and the Foundation also collects and preserves local records.
