ALMOST 30 different events, lectures, outings and gatherings form part of the 2024 Programme for the Kerry Archaeological and Historical Society which has been published this week.
From the Vikings to St Brendan the Navigator and the big houses of Kerry to recent archaeological discoveries on the Dingle Peninsula, the lecture programme for this year offers a diverse range of topics on the rich history and heritage of the county. The programme is available to download from the Society website, www.kerryhistory.ie.
Many of the events during the year are for members only, but the majority of Society lectures and events are open to the public and are usually hosted in local libraries.
