A short walk through the Kingston-planned Main Street that President Ronald Reagan's motorcade filled on 3 June 1984, past the church where his great-grandfather Michael Regan was reportedly baptised in 1829, and out to the mill site and mountain views that shaped a village its emigrants never forgot. An optional extension reaches the early medieval church ruin at Templetenny, whose name predates Ballyporeen itself by a thousand years. Looking for things to do in Ballyporeen?
