The National Memorial to An Gorta Mór is located in Philadelphia Pa, USA. This memorial commemorates the struggle and pain of those Irish who fled their homeland in the face of a hunger of catastrophic proportions. It celebrates their courage that forged an enduring link between Ireland and America.
What Does The Irish Memorial Mean to You? The Irish Memorial was created to commemorate and to educate about the tragedy of Ireland’s Great Hunger. Over the years, we could not be more excited by the way the Memorial has grown...
Until Nov. 3rd. this 90ft long, GHOST SHIP is ‘appearing’ on the river at Race Street Pier, as a three-dimensional hologram. It is complemented by nine audio pieces and one of them is a letter from Hannah Curtis living in Ireland during The Great Hunger.
We are very sad that this year's St. Patrick's Day commemoration at The Irish Memorial had to be cancelled, but we know that you will enjoy some of these images from recent celebrations. You may see someone you know or even yourself!
When work begins on a new 11-acre park that will run from Front Street to the river and from Chestnut Street to Walnut Street, The Irish Memorial will be temporarily relocated. To understand more about this complicated move, click on this post. Thank you for your continued support!
