Look up at the sky today and you might see WW2 U.S Rangers dropping in to Sion Mills! What a fabulous visit we had from Andrew Burke from the Wartime Living History Association. Andrew showed us the equipment worn by the US Rangers in WW2, and even let us try on a few pieces! Would you or your children love an opportunity to do the same?

Then contact Sion Stables! Andrew will be accompanying our education officer, Ruth Heaney on some of our outreach handling interactive sessions with schools and community groups, helping to bring the history of WW1 and WW2 to life in front of your eyes with our Loan Boxes! Other themed boxes are available such as Victorian Life in Co.Tyrone and Flax to Linen Yarn- our present past.

If you are interested in availing of our outreach sessions, please call us on** 028 8165 9772** or email Ruth at [email protected]
