an dun transport and heritage museum

An Dun (Doon), meaning mound or hill is an area steeped in history. From the monastic resting place for pilgrims on their way to Clonmacnoise, to the castle of the great Mooney clan, whose origins go back to 150 A.D. It is built on the Sli Mor or Chariot Way, one of the five ancient roads of Ireland.
Cars on display include the popular Bullnose Morris Cowley of the 1920's, right up to the modern classic Morris Minor. View a unique and rare Shelvoke & Drewry truck of the 1920's.
Let your imagination wander down memory lane as you view a trap or side car, or wonder at the intricacies of the Penny Farthing bicycles and pre & post-war cycles complete with carbide lamps.


The Heritage Collection and Farm display features a unique collection of carefully refurbished farm implements including a Garvey Mill dating from 1932, early combine harvesters, many of the horse drawn implements and farm utensils and mass produced post-war tractors.
A video presentation will explain the background to many of the exhibits, enhancing your knowledge of the time. This unique interpreted display of hundreds of exhibits will create hours of enjoyment and nostalgia.
