Maria Edgeworth Centre

Over het museum

The Maria Edgeworth Centre in Edgeworthstown, County Longford, celebrates the life and legacy of Maria Edgeworth, who was born in 1768 and played an important part in the development of the modern novel.

The museum is housed in a nineteenth-century national school building and also shares the story of the early national education system in Ireland. Visitors can book heritage tours, and the centre also offers a heritage and literary trail through Edgeworthstown.

The centre is operated by the Edgeworthstown District Development Association, a not-for-profit voluntary community charity. It hosts talks and workshops and an annual festival devoted to Maria Edgeworth.
