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.
After two long years, it was wonderful to once again, see everyone congregate at the Irish Memorial on St. Patrick’s Day to commemorate all those who died in the Famine, and acknowledge all those who had passed away due to the pandemic.
Quinnipiac University in Connecticut announces that the Great Hunger Museum with its extensive collection of Irish Famine art will be given to the Gaelic-American Club (GAC) of Fairfield
As part of Women's History Month, the Irish Memorial is recognizing the amazing work of all the women who have been a part of this project for so many years.
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!
