Strokestown Park House was seat of the Parkenham-Mahons since the 1660's.

The guided tour of the house includes all the main reception rooms, the first floor bedrooms, the children's nurseries and the galleried kitchen, complete with their original furnishings.

Located in the stable yards of Strokestown Park, is the very impressive Famine Museum, which commemorates the Great Irish Famine of the 1840's. The museum uses the extensive Strokestown archive to explain the significance of the Famine nationally and to reflect critically on the ongoing spectacle of contemporary world hunger and is worth spending a few hours in.
