The Connemara Heritage and History Centre, also called Dan O'Hara's Homestead, is an open-air museum in the village of Lettershea, near the town of Clifden (Irish: An Clochán), County Galway, in the Connemara region, Ireland. [1] [2] It was established in the late 1980s.
The centre's attractions include audiovisual and history presentations, as well as outdoor exhibits including reconstructions of a crann óg, a ring fort, and a clochán. Also on the grounds are the Dan O'Hara Homestead and pre-famine farm.
It also served as the first "Pit Stop" on The Amazing Race 12.[3]
