The cottage where sean thorton and mary kate lived in is in ruins. The small bridge is still there.the house where the danahers live is on the grounds of ashford castle.there is a family living in the house.the village of cong is still the same as it was when they were doing the film.

Cong is about 4 1/2 hours from waterford.in a small country like ireland its great to have a great landmark and to have the great john wayne over here. Ive been to cong about 10 times and each time i meet people that was involved in the film and the storyies about the making of the film is so wonderful. Theres a family from america that owns the land where the white o morn is on and the people of cong tryed to buy it from him but he wont sell the land.may be one day.

That big problem with White O’Morn is just that Mr. Gregory Ebbitt, Santa Ana, California have not doing anything good with the cottage so that is a ruin today.

I'll say! I've found a picture of it, at this web site.

Here's another web site with an article on TQM tourist locations - very good! A couple of paragraphs in the middle specifically discuss the White O Morn cottage.

Keith.
Great job of presenting the photos and dialogue. Hopefully this fellow "Californian" will one day see the light, and the reconstruction can begin.

Here's a sad looking sight and article from
the local newspaper at the time
[SIZE=+1][SIZE=+2]February '02 News[/SIZE][/SIZE]
The 'Quiet Man' Cottage at Peacocke's went on fire just before
the annual Bogman's Ball on Saturday night - the thatch is completely gone.
Galway and Clifden Fire Brigade attended, but before they arrived
the staff had done their best to keep it under control
but the winds were too strong and really hampered all efforts to save it.
"John Wayne", "Maureen O Hara" etc. and many of the artifacts were saved.
The staff are really to be praised, most had to get changes of clothes etc.
and then worked on for the ball catering for 375 people !!!
And at 5pm on Sunday the children from Holy Cross (Ardoyne) school
were due to arrive!! - thanks to Caitríona for the news.
Thanks to Connemara.netBest Wishes

Amazing how fast the stone walls deteriorated in ten years. And look at that . . . a fancy new house just 50 yards away.Let us know - How Did You Find Us? and How Do You Become a John Wayne Fan?

I was in Ireland in June -2007. Went to Cong and looked for "Quiet Man" places. Had a wonderful time, the Irish are very nice people and Duke made one of his best movies
there.
