My husband and I visited the Museum on the 12th of March last . We were welcomed and greeted by a very friendly staff and offered a cup of tea / coffee straight away .We watched an audio visual first and then were guided by a very informative staff around the Museum which has plenty of interesting artefacts based on the life , trals and achievements of Michael Davitt .It helped refresh my memory of Davitt and the Land League and I learned lots more .The Museum is located in an old Church and the remains of Michael Davitt are interred in the adjoining cemetery .

We received a truly Irish welcome to this delightful gem of a Museum. Our guide, Joe, was both informative and interested. The exhibits are well laid out, and in wonderful condition. It would be very easy to browse without a guide, but Joe added a truly personal touch as well as adding much information from a deep knowledge of the subject. We would recommend it t everyone.

The staff were very friendly, helpful and very enthusiastic about the museum. Joe went above and beyond to explain the history about Michael Davitt and the ruins of the abbey. The museum is very well laid out and is very interesting for people who like Irish history. There was no charge apart from a voluntary contribution which you will no doubt give after having a great experience!

We stopped by this museum in Straide, Foxford, Co. Mayo. I had heard of Michael Davitt, but didn't know much about him except he was one of the founders of the Land League, after visiting this museum I knew a lot more about the man. He had an amazing life and packed so much into his 60 years. The staff at the museum were all volunteers, and loved their subject - and it showed. We spent over an hour and a half there and it flew by. The museum is housed in an old church where Michael Davitt was baptised, and outside was the graveyard where he is buried. If you are in the area, don't hesitate to visit this museum, you won't be disappointed.

Was travelling to Ballina and i finally stopped the car to check out this place . Excellent experience and brought a tear to my eye to be reminded of the history of the peoples who came before us ..........

Joe does a great job presenting the Davitt Museum artifacts, which are many and various and interesting. Davitt is a great Irish hero and it is worth having a look at some of his wonderful work. Video presentation lasts around 15 minutes and is followed by a tour of the museum and church. Copper Beech pub next door is also nice and does food and has friendly service

Stopped off here on our way to the Museum of Country Life and very glad we did. Our guide Joe couldn't have been friendlier or more informative and amusing. The museum itself is full of interesting artifacts and the audiovisual presentation gave a good overview of the life of this most important figure in Irish history - a republican socialist who inspired the British Labour Party and Gandhi amongst many others. Joe also took us around the ruins of the Franciscan monastery and the graveyard containing the grave of Davitt and a particularly interesting grave of an unknown bard.Top marks all round for the museum and the staff. Entrance is free but the museum is dependent on contributions so give generously!Nár laga Dia sibh.

We really enjoyed the audio visual shown. After we were given a tour of the museum by our tour guide called Joe. He was very knowledgeable and knew his stuff. Our children found the tour very good and Michael Davitt was explained very well to us. I would recommend this museum to any history teacher across the country.
