What is recorded here
Omagh Library wears a blue plaque honouring Alice Milligan and Charlotte Milligan Fox, cousins who breathed life into the Celtic Revival before dying in 1953 and 1916. Their names still cling to the building like wet moss, proving that radical imagination once occupied ordinary rooms. The Ulster History Circle set the words in stone, yet the true record is the ghost of their ambition, waiting for someone reckless enough to join it.
This blue commemorative plaque records: Alice Milligan 1866-1953 Charlotte Milligan Fox 1864-1916 promoters of the Celtic Revival lived in Omagh Recorded plaque organisation: Ulster History Circle.
Alice Milligan and Charlotte Milligan Fox were influential figures in the Celtic Revival, promoting Irish cultural heritage through literature, drama, and folklore, significantly contributing to the preservation and revitalization of Celtic traditions.
