Threading the Past: A Stitch in Time with Moygownagh Ramblers
Apr 29, 2025

Moygownagh Ramblers were invited to volunteer as exhibitors at an events management class (MSLTB Ballina) titled "Living Heritage". This event was hosted in the town's Civic Offices; on Saturday afternoon, April 26th, between 2-5 pm. The objective was to showcase heritage objects from households: farm, local; commercial or personal collections, which the exhibitors felt were of public interest from days long gone by.

Moygownagh

Moygownagh (Gaelic - Magh Gamhnach) is a rural village and parish in North Mayo. Situated between the towns of Ballycastle and Crossmolina, it has a population of 585. The parish derives its name from an ancient 7th century legend where a wandering St. Cormac met St. Daria, the abbess of a monastery along the banks of the Owenmore river. She treated him so hospitably that he blessed her and her lands so that they would abound in milch cows (fertile cows with milk) thereafter the area became known as "the plain of the milch cows" or "Magh Gamhnach".
