The Milltown man has always had a love of machinery, in particular engines, and over the years he has restored some wonderful historic pieces.

Kilgobnet National School

It’s the year 1876, and there are a few things happening around the world. We had Alexander Graham Bell making the very first telephone call in history, the composer Tchaikovsky completing his Swan Lake ballet, oh, and Kilgobnet NS right here in Kerry opened its doors for the very first time.
