Dan Winter's Cottage

Dan Winter's Cottage is located at the Diamond near the small town of Loughgall in County Armagh.  This small cottage museum is well worth a visit; run by Hilda Winter who has maintained the cottage in its original condition.  It is said to be the place where the decision was made to form the Orange Order in 1795 following the Battle of the Diamond.

The images below were taken for a project in connection with Belfast Exposed, and they convey the historic nature of the cottage and the great job that Hilda Winter has done in preserving a little bit of Ulster history.  I hope you like the images and perhaps at some point will find time to visit the cottage.

 I hope these initial images give you an impression of what the cottage has to offer the visitor and perhaps you will make a visit yourself at some time in the future.
