Housed in two Georgian stone buildings dating from 1840-1842, the Nenagh Heritage Centre offers a glimpse into the area’s past. Originally part of a gaol complex, the Centre showcases local history. Condemned cells in the Gatehouse held persons who were sentenced to death by hanging. Between 1842 and 1858, seventeen Tipperary men were executed here, with an opportunity to walk in the foot steps of past prisoners . Shortly after the prison closed in 1887, it was taken over by the local Tipperary branch of the Sisters of Mercy for educational purposes. The Heritage Centre has been open to visitors to County Tipperary since 1984. If you are looking for tourist attractions in Tipperary, why not visit this unique Museum& Heritage Centre!
