The Donegal Railway Heritage Museum has been announced as a National Finalist in the National Lottery Good Causes Awards 2023.
Located outside Donegal Town, the small community museum rescues, restores, showcases, educates and celebrates the unique railways that once operated across this remote part of Ireland in County Donegal.
They operate a museum with an original steam engine, Ireland’s first interactive steam cab, railway stock and a variety of artefacts and audio/visual presentations.
Although small in size, they play a big part in community cohesion, proud of their unique history that they have and of their massive contribution to the wider story of our nation.
The Donegal Railway Heritage Museum is one of 34 finalists in this year’s National Lottery Good Causes Awards 2023.
The winners will be announced at a Gala awards dinner in Autumn 2023.
The National Lottery Good Causes Awards honour the inspiring work and achievements of thousands of projects, clubs and individuals from all over Ireland who, with the help of National Lottery Good Causes funding, have had an extraordinary impact on their local communities. Nearly 30 cent in every €1 spent on National Lottery games goes back to Good Causes all over the country.
