The Merry Ploughboy Pub will be celebrating July 4th (American Independence Day) at our traditional dinner & show.
July Fourth commemorates the adoption of the Declaration of Independence dating back to July 4, 1776.
The American war of Independence inspired the French Revolution of 1789 which in turn had a key influence on the United Irishmen rebellion in Ireland, which took place in the year of 1798.
The road which runs close by the Merry Ploughboy Pub and known as the "Military Road" was built shortly after the unsuccessful 1798 rebellion to allow the British forces to pursue the Irish rebels who had sought the sanctuary of the then inaccessible Wicklow Hills.
Arrival time for dinner is between 6.30 pm and 7.15 pm.
