Kiltimagh (Coillte Mach) is a small town in the centre
of east Mayo. It owes its origin and early development
to a great Sligo-born priest, Rev. Denis O'Hara
(1850-1923).
Today, Kiltimagh prides itself in preserving its 19th
century townscape as well as reviving traditional
trades, crafts and cultural events. The town square
has a memorial in honour of Anthony Raftery, the last
of the great Gaelic bards who was born nearby at
Killedan, and a small Sculpture Park with exhibits by
local, national and international artists.
An interesting local museum was officially opened in
the old railway station office in June 1989 by Thomas
J Flatley of Boston, a native of the parish, and the
surrounding ground has been developed as an artists'
retreat park.
