Irish Shrine

The Irish Railroad Workers Museum in Baltimore, MD, is dedicated to preserving the history and contributions of Irish immigrants during the Great Hunger, also known as the Potato Famine. Visitors can explore the lives of James and Sarah Feeley and gain insights into the challenges faced by these immigrants as they established a new life in a vibrant and thriving city.

Through various in-person and virtual events, the museum offers engaging programs that highlight the rich history of the local Irish immigrant community. Key sites, such as the Lemmon Street houses, St. Peter the Apostle Catholic Church, and the Hollins Street Market, paint a vivid picture of neighborhood life, showcasing both the resilience and the everyday experiences of the families who once called this area home.
