The Letterkenny Historic Group’s annual magazine will be launched tonight, April 11th at 8pm in the Station House Hotel and all are welcome on the night.
Letterkenny Heritage magazine
The magazine, which is edited by committee member Kieran Kelly, includes many local stories of interest from the past to the present contributed by members of the local community.
The sale of the magazine helps raise funding towards the annual projects carried out by the group.
Last year along with assistance from the Town Council and Bishop Boyce we were able to erect the Penal Monument on Sentry Hill.
This year the group hopes to have a monument erected to the many young men from the the Letterkenny area who lost their lives in the Great War 1914-1918.
The group has been in liaison with the Town Council and the local Churches and are pleased to announce that with their assistance we have secured a site for the monument which we hope to have in place before the end of the summer in the vicinity of the Cathedral car park.
The group also hopes to launch a town heritage trail later in the year which is being worked on at present by committee members Kieran Kelly, Cllr Jim Lynch and Darren McGahey.
We look forward to another successful year and would like to thank all sections of the community in Letterkenny who support us in our ventures.
