Steam Museum worth a visit during Heritage Week

For those interested in the industrial heritage of Ireland, a visit to the Steam Museum in Straffan is one of the good ideas for a family outing during National Heritage Week, writes Brian Byrne.

The week gets under way tomorrow, and the Steam Museum & Lodge Park Walled Garden is open each afternoon from 1pm-5pm, with an amazing collection of model locomotives and working stationary engines. Steam is up on Sundays, showing a number of the exhibits in action.
