Irish American Heritage Museum

The Irish American Heritage Museum, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit established by the New York State Legislature in 1986, delves into the rich history and cultural contributions of Irish Americans in the United States. Through exhibits, programs, and educational initiatives, the museum fosters dialogue and connections between America and Ireland, highlighting the universal immigrant experience in American history.

As a pioneering institution, the museum has played a vital role in educating the public about significant events like the Irish Famine of 1845-1853 and has even showcased its exhibits at prestigious venues such as the National Library in Dublin. By sharing stories and promoting Irish heritage, the museum aims to create a sense of community and appreciation for the immigrant narrative among all Americans.
