FAMINE MEMORIAL BY SCULPTOR JOHN MC KENNA
The Dropping Well Pub in Milltown stands as a poignant reminder of the Great Famine's devastating impact on Ireland. Its origins as a community morgue in 1847, during the worst year of the famine, are indeed chilling. Further underscoring its connection to this tragic period, a dedicated Famine Memorial, sculpted by John McKenna and unveiled in 1997, stands prominently at the pub's entrance, serving as a solemn tribute to those who tragically lost their lives.
