It was here in Dromcollogher over one hundred years ago that the co-operative movement in Ireland had its first humble beginnings, with the country’s first co-operative creamery. This creamery was setup in Ireland in 1889 by Horace Plunkett now has a new lease of life as it has been renovated and restored to its original condition as it would have looked before the turn of the century, being reopened as the National Dairy Co-operative Museum. It is hoped that this museum will keep alive the memory of a very important industry of the first half of the century. Future generations will have a better understanding of the dairy industry that is no more.
