  • Witness the arrival of the potato plague, a harbinger of doom that decimated crops and dreams alike.


A Crisis Mismanaged

  • Feel the pulse of worldwide outrage and relief efforts, as global communities rallied together in the face of human suffering.


A Ripple Across Oceans

  • Trace the exodus of one to two million Irish souls who sought refuge and a new beginning in distant lands, from North America to Australia.
  • Discover how these brave immigrants shaped the United States during and after the Civil War and sowed new roots in the British Empire.


Memorials and Legacy
