Description

The Curragh Local History Group is the local history group for the Curragh of Kildare, a large plain in central Kildare with a rich heritage dating back to prehistoric times. The more recent history of the plain is dominated by the military camp and horse racing.

The Curragh Local History Group was founded in 1993 and has a number of notable achievements to its credit. In 1995 they were involved in the restoration of the Clock Tower; they organized the Curragh Speed Festival in 1999 to commemorate the fiftieth anniversary of the famous International Wakefield car races held in the Curragh between 1949 and 1954.
