"The Quiet Man" Restored Cottage

Maam Cross, County Galway, Ireland

The cottage, located in Maam, County Galway, was featured in the 1952 movie “The Quiet Man,” which was directed by John Ford and starred Maureen O’Hara and John Wayne. For years fans of the movie have petitioning the local council and the central government for permission to restore and preserve the cottage, which remains a tourist attraction.. The owner, an American, finally got approval 2 years ago and has restored it. Earlier pictures of it show it to be in ruins.

an interesting cultural artifact for sure, even if a restoration...John Wayne was one of my Dad's favourite actors, so saw the film several times on television...O'Hara and many others, like Victor McLaglen, were also enjoyable in their roles...cool you found this place..
