Pearse Museum Rathfarnham

The Pearse Museum and St Enda’s Park was where Patrick Pearse lived and ran his innovative Irish-speaking school, Scoil Éanna, between 1910-16. 

‘The Hermitage’ built for Edward Hudson in 1786 was discovered by Patrick Pearse while on a historical pilgrimage of sites associated with Robert Emmet. 

Set in nearly fifty acres of beautiful parkland, the museum tells the story of Patrick Pearse and his brother William, both of whom were executed for their part in the 1916 Rising.
