Welcome to Navan & District Historical Society (N&DHS)
Founded in 2007 our main aim is to foster an interest in the local history of our area. (you can see a more formal declaration of our aims in our Constitution under the”About Us” tab.)
We hold meetings and excursions throughout the year, keeping them as informative and informal as we can, and urging our members to participate and enjoy themselves.
If you wish to learn more about us, why don’t you apply to join us and enjoy meeting with others who share your interest.

Landscape around Navan
When you are visiting areas of interest around Navan such as Ardmulchan Church, Bective Abbey and Rathmore Castle have a look at the surrounding landscape. This landscape was formed 10,000 years ago at the end of the last Ice Age.
In Geological Time we are in the Holocene. This covers from 10,000 years ago up to modern times. 10,000 years is not so long ago when you consider that Newgrange is 6,000 years old. 20,000 years ago Navan was completely covered by ice. The Holocene in Ireland is the post glacial period.
