Balbriggan & District Historical Society
Balbriggan & District Historical Society was established in 1981 with the goal to promote an interest in the local history of Balbriggan & District through lectures, publications and exhibitions, and to establish a Museum in the Balbriggan District.
The Society is proud to have published the following books:
Balbriggan a History for the Millennium.
Sale of Hampton Estate Balbriggan 1875.
Balbriggan – the street where you live.
The Farm Diary of Lowther Lodge Balbriggan 1803-1822
The Hamilton Family & the Making of Balbriggan.
Balbriggan a History in Maps 1655-1900
We hold six talks each year in March, April, May, August, September and October. These are held at 8pm on the last Wednesday of the month in the Town Hall Balbriggan. We also have a Summer Outing each year and lead a Historical Walk as part of the Annual Summerfest. The Society also has a role in the restoration of Bremore Castle and is delighted to see the restoration coming near to completion and the Castle open for use.
