Join us at the Irish Railroad Workers Museum on February 1st to celebrate St. Brigid's Day, honoring Ireland’s only female patron saint. This day, aligned with the festival of Imbolc, marks the arrival of spring and signifies renewal. Participate in weaving Brigid's crosses, a symbol of protection and heritage, and engage in storytelling sessions that showcase St. Brigid's compassion and influence on Irish culture. Enjoy light refreshments and connect with a community that values our shared roots. This celebration highlights St. Brigid’s legacy and invites us to embrace themes of hope and new beginnings. Join us in honoring her spirit and creating lasting memories!
The 8th Annual Gala promises to be an unforgettable evening. Themed "Fir na Tine," (Men of Fire), this year's event will honor the indomitable spirit and strength of the Irish first responders and laborers, celebrating their bravery, dedication, and community service.
As we gather to celebrate the "Fir na Tine," we also aim to raise funds for the Irish Museum's educational programs and preservation efforts. Join us for an evening of camaraderie, culture, and celebration, as we pay tribute to the courageous men and women who embody the true spirit of Ireland.

We have helped hundreds of families with personal research to better understand their own family history. Is it time to find out more about those old portraits in the dresser drawer? Register for your own session with our team of researchers who have done it themselves. We will send you a questionnaire to get started and send our results electronically. You will receive real answers to your questions, and a document that lists dozens of resources to check out after our research session has ended.
Our focus is on census records, city directories, historical newspapers, sacramental records and many other sources.
