What is recorded here

Apprentice Boys of Derry and Siege Museum is a museum in County Derry, Ireland. Perhaps the gates still creak beneath your feet when you walk past the siege rooms. Maybe the apprentice boys are waiting for you to help them hold the line. Imagine your shadow joining theirs in the dark, steady and unbroken.

The museum remembers the apprentice boys who shut Derry's gates and the events of the 1689 siege.

The Apprentice Boys of Derry, a Protestant militia, famously shut the gates of Derry in 1689 to resist James II's Catholic forces during the Siege of Derry. The siege lasted 105 days and ended in a Protestant victory, which was a pivotal moment in the Williamite War in Ireland and helped secure Protestant control in Northern Ireland.
