Daltons  Heritage Centre started off back in 1990 as the New Tipperary Centenary Company Ltd. The society had two main aims:
 To create awareness as to the importance of New Tipperary in history. To preserve the physical remnants’ of what was a unique development in Tipperary Town.

Daltons Heritage Centre Tipperary Town Upcoming EventsA run down dilapidated shop and house at 9 Emmet Street was purchased and we successfully lobbied for a EU grant and Daltons’ received a grant for 26.000 punts this was the only project in Ireland that year to get a grant.

The grant was used to renovate the building back to its original state when it was built in 1890; it now stands as a testimony to the heritage of New Tipperary.
Daltons is a unique historic  building and has stood the test of time for the last 125 years.

Daltons was unsuccessful in it’s grant application from local government so we find ourselves needing to raise funds to repaint our exterior and carry out some repairs to a leaky roof.
As we are a listed building we have to meet the criteria set out by the Department of Heritage and Culture for any works are carried out.

Daltons is very much part of the community and we are used as a  community centre by the following groups.
Tipperary  Branch / Arthritis Ireland  / Ceoltas Ceoltorai  Eireann  / Tipperary Active Retirement Association / Beginners Irish classes  / Local resident associations  / Tipperary Heritage Group  / The Tipperary vintage animation team.

We also provide the following services from Daltons we have the Tipperary Clans Heritage society as part of our organisation and  we help to organise Clan and Family rallies we provide surname certificates and surname histories.
Currently we have over 700 surnames  with coats of arms in our database.
