Exhibit Launch: Irish America 250: That the World May Know

This exhibit, running through the course of 2026, uses the archives of the American Irish Historical Society to display the history of Irish America. 250 years after 1776, we look back on the contributions and stories of Irish emigrants and their descendants in American history. In collaboration with Irish America 250, this is part of a series of events and exhibits throughout 2026.

This launch will feature a brief lecture on the planned exhibit–featuring 12 themes for 2026–and a view of the January exhibit theme, “Revolutionary Heroes.”
