1916 Rising: Docks, Dollars, & Defiance on American Shores

While Ireland fought in the streets, American supporters mobilized on the docks and in the halls. Join the Irish American Museum and the Metropolitan Baltimore Fire Emerald Society for a 110th-anniversary exploration of the "American Front"—from the vast national network of fundraising to the open defiance of Irish communities across the United States. This program features a historical forum and a memorial service dedicated to the 65 individuals who gave their lives in Ireland during Easter Week.

Time: 12:00 PM – 3:00 PM (Museum opens at 11:00 AM)

Tickets: $10 General Admission| $15 Admission + Hand-Crocheted Lily Pin
