Museum of Free Derry

Museum of Free Derry

The exhibits on display at this local museum are mostly donations made by local residents, who experienced the turbulent 1960’s and 70’s first-hand. The over 25,000 artifacts tell a subjective, but authentic story of Derry's residents during the civil rights and Free Derry historic eras.

Tower Museum

This is an award winning museum that houses two permanent exhibitions, telling the stories of the City of Derry and of an Armada shipwreck found off the coast of Donegal in 1971 through a range of displays and interactive exhibits.

St Augustine's Church

St Augustine's Church

St Augustine's might not be Derry's most prominent architectural monument, but it is a lovely old Anglican church enclosed in a cosy garden and radiating tranquility. Sometimes they have concerts here, and the church is worth a visit even if only for a short while.
