The Quiet Man lives
on
In 1951 John Ford's greatest movie "The Quiet Man"
starring John Wayne, Maureen O'Hara and Barry Fitzgerald was
made. It was set in the beautiful west of Ireland with
filming being centred in the village of Cong on the
Mayo-Galway border.
Quiet Man Cottage
Museum
 Quiet
Man Cottage Museum is a novel concept which will give the
visitor a total Quiet Man experience as if they were
actually 'on-set'. Located by the river at Circular Road,
Cong, between actual locations used for the filming, the
ground floor of the cottage has been designed as an exact
replica of 'White-o-Mornin' Cottage.
Painstaking effort has ensured that all the furnishings,
artefacts, costumes etc are authentic reproductions. The
four poster bed and the tables and chairs which 'Mary Kate'
cherished, the thatched roof, emerald green half door and
white washed front combine to charm all those who visit
it.
"Quiet Man Cottage Museum" is a must for any Quiet Man
enthusiasts, or even those wishing to visit a typical Irish
cottage of the 1920's.
