Creation of a Nation

The Creation of a Nation exhibition tells the story of King House, Boyle and the Connaught Rangers during the struggle for Irish independence.

Connaght Rangers

From the Easter Rising to Civil War

The exhibition explores this pivotal period of Irish history that spans the Easter Rising (1916), the War of Independence (1919 – 1921) and the Irish Civil War (1922 – 1923). At the time Boyle was one of the most heavily garrisoned towns in the country and King House was used as the army barracks of the Connaught Rangers.
