The museum is located in the Heritage Depot, Howth Demesne, Howth, Ireland (entry is via the main gates for Howth Castle, turning right just before the castle is reached).

Sixty vehicles are currently in Howth on display. The oldest items date from second half of the 19th century, the newest 1984. It features buses, lorries, trucks, fire engines, trams and tractors. Also exhibited is the restored Hill of Howth No.9 Tram.[1][2][3][4]
