Join Knights and Conquests Heritage Centre in Granard on Sunday next, August 18 from 2pm, where you'll be amazed by designs once only seen in the diaries of Leonardo De Vinci and James Watt brought to life.
The Knights and Conquests Heritage Centre hosts a community heritage day celebrating the National Heritage Week theme of 'Connections, Routes and Networks'.
Witness for yourself the designs of the first steam-propelled vehicle by William Murdock brought to life and built over the last year in Granard.
Speak with Eamonn Creamer the master craftsman responsible for it's construction along with the realisation of Leonardo De Vinci's design, Bianconi transport and the very special Model T known as Michael Collins' car, plus much, much more.
Knights and Conquests will welcome Lakeland Vintage this year for a very special display of transport through the ages with vintage vehicles driven by personnel in period dress.
Granard's men shed will have a display of associated artefacts and equipment.  
The heritage day will also include an art exhibition and discussion on the Black Pigs Race by Eilish Creamer and a talk dedicated to our water heritage. Bigí Linn!
