The Great Houses & Gardens of Ireland

There’s nothing quite like the Emerald Isle. You can experience some of the most breathtaking places in Ireland in this webinar—part travelogue, part virtual tour—when Curt takes you on a luscious, image-rich journey that showcases the 2019 American Ancestors Heritage Tour to Leinster and Munster. Some of the highlights will be visits to Kilfane Glen, a magical 18th century romantic-era garden; Tourin, home of the famous Jameson Irish whiskey family; Altamont Gardens, the jewel in Ireland’s gardening crown; Curraghmore, the ancestral home of the marquesses of Waterford; Castletown, Ireland’s largest and most architecturally influential 18th century house; and Martinstown House, a Strawberry Hill Gothic Style cottage orné.
