In brief, the Famine Village is an outdoor museum that tells the story of life in the area from the Famine back in the 1840s, through the 1900s to the present day.

Inishowen (Inis Eoghain - Owen's Island) takes its name from Owen, son of Niall of the Nine Hostages, who captured St Patrick and brought him to Ireland. Inishowen was part of the great northern kingdom of Ui Neill and was ruled from the royal place at Grianan Aileach.

The Inishowen Peninsula is situated in the North West of the Republic of Ireland. Inishowen possesses such a range of sights and attractions that it is often referred to as 'Ireland in Miniature'.
