Sligo County Museum contains a fascinating collection of exhibits spanning the centuries. Its showcases Sligo’s rich stone-age history, with items including flint arrow heads and axes as well as the more “modern” large firkin of 100-year-old bog butter. The Yeats Room contains footage of W.B Yeats funeral cortege as well as various manuscripts, photographs, letters and newspaper cuttings associated with the local poet William Butler Yeats including a copy of his 1923 Nobel Prize winning medal. There is also a display of artefacts and memorabilia associated with Countess Constance Markievicz and her sister Eva Gore-Booth.
