Blessington History Society

About us

Blessington History Society was formed in 2000 and was initially focussed on family history. Over time the scope of the society’s activities has expanded to include the research and documentation of all aspects of human settlement in the Blessington area during the past 4,000 years. This content of this website is created by volunteers who share an interest in local history. The society always welcomes new members and encourages persons with an interest in local history to contact us blessingtonhistorysociety@gmail.com

This community archive website has been developed through our membership of the Irish Community Archive Network (iCAN), an initiative of the National Museum of Ireland delivered in partnership with the Heritage Council, Wicklow County Council Heritage Office, and communities across Ireland.
