Place & story
The Carrick cottage
Lackagh Museum occupies the Carrick family’s former cottage beside the village church. The museum association describes the building as a former shop that had fallen into disrepair. Its restoration retained a thatched roof and brought two rear outbuildings back into use. Local residents contributed household objects, old agricultural machinery and tools for the collection. The project turned a domestic building into a place for preserving the material history of rural life. [2]
