A new exhibition ‘Ulster Covenant 1912 County Donegal’ will be officially opened at 6pm on Saturday 15 September in the Donegal County Museum in Letterkenny.

The story of 1912 and the Ulster Covenant is part of a narrative that encompasses communities across Donegal and the island of Ireland.

Through images and text the exhibition places the signing of the Covenant in the context of life in Donegal during the early twentieth century. 237,368 men signed the Ulster Covenant with 234,046 women signing a parallel Declaration on Ulster Day, 28 September 1912.  This included 17,985 people at 51 venues throughout Donegal.

Admission is free and the exhibition runs until the end of 2012.

Opening hours:  Monday-Friday 10 a.m. – 4.30 p.m. and Saturday 1.00 p.m. - 4.30 p.m.
