Wexford's medieval town wall at Abbey Street
Welcome to the Wexford Historical Society website. The WHS (formerly known as the Old Wexford Society) was established by a small group of enthusiasts in 1944 to research, record and promote the history, archaeology and heritage of the town and county of Wexford. The late Dr George Hadden provided the initial stimulus and continued to inspire and lead the society for more than 30 years.
Wexford Historical Society does Not deal with Genealogical enquiries.

The Society has published a biennial journal since 1968. A newsletter is produced twice yearly and distributed to members. Our 200 members are mainly from the town and county but with a considerable overseas representation.To encourage an interest in, and the study of Local History, Wexford Historical Society is initiating an essay competition for second level students - 2008/09.
