Famine House

The Famine House and garden is situated on the main road from Knocktopher to Kilmoganny near the village of Newmarket, Co. Kilkenny.  It was constructed by both public and private funds and, as one sits alone in the garden, it is easy to reflect on the hundreds of people who emigrated and more who lost their lives in the famine 155 years ago.
