📚 Welcoming another School to the Museum of Orange Heritage

This time It was our pleasure to welcome pupils from The Royal School Armagh to the Museum of Orange Heritage.

During their visit, students engaged in our interactive Handling Box sessions, exploring the Williamite War and the First World War, with insights from Jonathan Mattison.

Visits like these offer a valuable opportunity to bring history to life and deepen understanding through hands-on learning.

We hope everyone enjoyed their time with us and we look forward to seeing them again.

🌺 ANZAC Day

On ANZAC Day, we remember the many Orangemen who served with distinction at Gallipoli as part of the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps, and in other units throughout the conflict.
Their courage, sacrifice and service remain an enduring part of our shared history.

Today we honour their memory, and all those from Australia and New Zealand who have served in defence of freedom.

Lest we forget.
