The Argory

The Argory was built in 1824 for Walter
McGeough. The Argory has a fine setting on a slight rise overlooking the River Blackwater on the Armagh/Tyrone border near Moy. The house is a time capsule with everything as it was at the turn of the century. Electricity was never installed in the main rooms; instead the house was lit by gas from the acetylene gas plant which was installed in 1906. A celebrated feature of the house is the magnificent cabinet barrel organ built by James Bishop of London which is one of the most important of its kind. It is still in working order. There is a bewildering
assortment of family treasures left by four generations including the weighing chair, watercolours by Mary Nichols, books, portraits and clothing. Beyond the house and garden there are 315 acres of woodland and parkland with many interesting walks to be explored.

Opening Times: From 17th March - Open Mon, Thurs, Fri, Sat & Sun from 11.00 am to 5.00 pm until end of October.
