Join us at Kinsale Library for a special Heritage Week presentation tracing the remarkable journey of the Old Head Signal Tower project — from a 200-year-old Napoleonic ruin to an award-winning heritage site. This talk, inspired by the museum’s recently released book The Story So Far, explores how a passionate local community transformed the tower into a thriving tourist attraction on the Wild Atlantic Way. Discover the fascinating history of the Napoleonic Signal Tower, and the tragic story of RMS Lusitania which was torpedoed within sight of the Old Head during WW1. Learn about the museum’s decade-long evolution and hear exciting news about the next chapter — the planning permission approval of Phase 3, which will see the creation of a purpose-built Lusitania Museum building on site.
