With such a rich History, Heritage and a story to tell, a trip to The Queenstown Story @ Cobh Heritage Centre is a must. This beautiful, informative cultural centre is inventively situated within Cobh's restored Victorian Railway station, a building holding its own historic story.
Given that so many from Ireland's past travelled through Cobh(Queenstown), one of the world's finest natural harbours, visitors can learn historic and emotive recounts of The Queenstown Story, where over three million Irish people emigrated from this port town in search of a new life.
Everything from the sinking of the Titanic and The Lusitania, to the transportation of the forgotten Irish who endured forced labour in Cromwellian times to the West Indies and American Colonies as well as the stories of emigration to Canada and North America, is inventively displayed in a variety of modern, tasteful and artistic ways.

It is a small and beautiful city. It has few restaurant options. Beautiful views of the bay. St. Colman's Cathedral is perfect!

There is so much history about Irish immigration and this self-guided tour provided was very interesting and educational. To make things a little more fun you're given the name of a person of interest in history to look out for before heading in, so you have a little something to be on the look out for and learn specifics about.

So many exhibits to see and presented very creatively. It was definitely worth the price of admission.
