Irish Road Bowling
Join the Frontier Culture Museum of Virginia and Staunton Parks and Recreation this Saturday, March 8th for Irish Road Bowling. Irish road bowling has been played in the Irish countryside since the 1600s. Its origins are unclear-perhaps it was brought to the Emerald Isle from England by weavers in the new textile industry, or perhaps from Holland by the troops of William of Orange, or maybe it began when Irish patriots robbed small English cannonballs and rolled them home by light of a full moon. Irish troops traditionally have played road bowling wherever they were stationed around the world.
