Introduction

Killiney Historical Society, an initiative of Killiney Village Residents’ Association, is delighted to announce a celebration of the history of the evolution of transport in the Killiney area over a period in excess of 200 years. The weekend will involve a series of talks on the topic including horsepower, trains, buses and cars along with an exhibition, slideshow and guided walks. We are excited to have a number of exhibits from the National Transport Museum on display in the Village and children’s activities will also take place. Food and refreshments will be available.
