🟫 About Us🟫

Located in the historic Servants’ House on the Mall in the heart of Armagh, the Royal Irish Fusiliers Museum tells the story of five distinguished regiments formed in Dublin in 1793 by Sir John Doyle.

Housed in a beautiful building constructed around 1810 using local Armagh stone—originally left over from the completion of the nearby courthouse—the museum stands at the centre of the city, preserving and sharing a proud military heritage.

Through carefully curated collections, personal stories, and archival material, we offer visitors a unique insight into the lives and service of those who served.
