The Lucan Area Heritage and Donnelly Museum is an important cultural space and tourist attraction within Lucan. Ultimately, community businesses benefit by the existence of the museum which attracts visitors not just from the local community but from all over the world. Museum interpreters are the face of the museum and help to impart the history and cultural heritage of the region to community members and other visitors. They are an important part of the museum's involvement in Lucan's summer festivals including Baconfest, where they help to plan for the event and provide interpretive services to a large number of visitors on the day of the festival.
