Ballinamallard Historical Society

The Society was formed in 1996 and continues to be active in the community.

It was set up with the objective of researching the rich heritage of the Ballinamallard area, to

record the information and make it available for future generations. To date it has a

considerable collection of photographs, articles, newspaper cuttings and artefacts relating to

the area and its residents. It is always on the look out for more however and would be

delighted if you can add to that collection.

It has on a number of occasions laid on an exhibition when most of this material put on

display as well as a wealth of material from private collectors. In 2002 it was privileged to

have the Queen and Prince Philip view their historical display in the Marquee during the

Queen’s Jubilee tour to the village.

In 2005 it was responsible for the publication of “Ballinamallard a place of importance” the

local history of the area. Unfortunately that book has long since been out of print but copies

can fetch quite a mark up.

In 2019 another publication “Ballinamallard and the Great War” hit the press documenting

all those from the greater Ballinamallard area who contributed to the war effort. In all over

170 men from the area joined the war joined up with 58 making the supreme sacrifice.

The Society holds its meetings on the last Monday in the month over the winter period

(September – April) with invited visiting speakers covering a range of interests – local and

further afield.
