Strokestown Park House, Strokestown, Co. Roscommon, Republic of Ireland, EuropeMore information:
Strokestown Park House is a Georgian Palladian villa in Strokestown, County Roscommon, Republic of Ireland. The House, set on approx. 300 acres, was the family home of the Packenham Mahon family and is built on the site of the 16th century castle, home of The O Conor Roe Gaelic Chieftains. The Landlord Major Denis Mahon was assassinated in November 1847 at the height of The Great Famine of Ireland and it is fitting that The Irish National Famine Museum was established at Strokestown Park in 1994 using the unique original documents which came to light during the restoration of The House . The house is open to the public all year round, as is the Famine Museum on the grounds.
