Sixty years ago, on 29 June 1963, US President John Fitzgerald Kennedy, the great-grandson of Irish emigrants, was made a Freeman of Galway in Eyre Square.  Galway City Museum will host another screening of the new short documentary entitled JFK – The Three Miles during Heritage Week 2023.

Directed by Pamela Finn and co-funded by Galway City Council, the 24-minute film tells the story of JFK’s visit to Galway through the eyes of those present on the day.  The documentary will be shown on repeat between 2.30pm and 4.30pm. There is no charge, and booking is not required.
