History
During the Great Famine , the Warhouse was the scene of the Young Irelanders' rising of 1848. The house exhibits the story of the Rising and the political exile of the Young Irelanders, in Australia and America, in the context of the Great Famine and Europe's year of revolutions. Here rebels under the leadership of the Protestant Nobleman, William Smith-O'Brien, besieged police who had barricaded themselves into the Widow McCormack's farmhouse, taking five of her children hostage. The exhibition covers the trial and political exile of the leaders. Ensure you take a visit to the Warhouse and make your Ireland vacation one to remember.
