Lonely Planet review for Kenmare Heritage Centre
The Kenmare Heritage Centre tells the history of the town from its founding as Neidín by the swashbuckling Sir William Petty in 1670. The centre also relates the story of the Poor Clare Convent, founded in 1861, which is still standing behind Holy Cross Church. Local women were taught needlepoint lace-making at the convent, and their lacework catapulted Kenmare to international fame.
