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.

Relax, and "Walk in the Footsteps of our Emigrant Ancestors"

A really good museum, right in the centre of town. A great insight into the history of this town specifically and Ireland more broadly.

Wow the geneology review by Christy Keating at the Cobh Heritage Museum was a high point for both my sister and me. Christy worked very hard going through records to find my brother in law's Irish roots and so we went back later in the week for him to review our family. He is a delight and makes the search for your Irish roots really fun!I The museum was great too and we n=bought some Aran knits at the store there and had some warm hot chocolate in the cafe. A lovely cold day spent in COBH! We rented a taxi to show us the town in 2 hours and that was a wonderful experience too! Wonderful people and great place!
Very educational and interactive experience

We had a wonderful day at the Cobh Heritage Centre. My mother-in-law enjoyed her session with genealogist Christy Keating. He seemed as excited about figuring out some of our family mysteries as us. Christy was generous with his time and was honest about what information we could find. When we found something conclusive, he was able to give us printouts to help us update our records. I recommend this special Irish experience for anyone with an ancestor who left the island in the past 200 years.
An incredible experience!

I highly recommend the genealogy research offering at the Cobh heritage centre. Christy was able to trace my ancestors back to 1760 and also unlocked a long held belief about my G.G. grandparents marriage. He was able to disprove a "taboo" my extended family has long believed true...only it was not! This revelation blew my mind. Christy found photos, and birth, marriage, and death records I had no knowledge of before. A great time spent at Cobh heritage, if you have Irish ancestry book an hour with a genealogist at Cobh!
Learn about your family with Christy too!

The museum was full of history and artifacts and the staff was extremely friendly. We were fortunate to book a session with the genealogist Christy ( sp) who was fantastic! He provided a nice overview of my ancestors and included copies of their records ( ie military enlistment WWI and census logs ) He had a wonderful sense of humor and was quite patient as I asked many questions due to my excitement with each discovery! Thanks for the great afternoon in Cobh ! Katie and Mike Crowley Portland, Maine

Set up an appointment to explore my mother's Irish ancestors. The Genealogist who worked with us was Christy Keating. He was very helpful in that he not only provided information about the probable birthplaces of our ancestors but also the historical context of when they lived in Ireland. His cheerful and engaging manner helped us look through historical records which can at times be confusing. After meeting with him, we were inspired to visit the church in northern Cork where both of my mother's parents were baptized.
A lot of information in one place
