The historical society was formed on St. Patrick’s Day, 1984 when a group of interested people gathered at the Stone Circle in Grange. 25 years later the group is still vibrant and strong with over 80 members and a number of key objectives such as:

· to gather and recording historical information

· arranging lectures and field trips

· publication of historical journals

- The 15th historical journal was launched during the October Festival in Lough Gur in October 09 and copies of which are available for €10 from the honeyfitz theatre contact 087 285 2022
