Programs & Events
Think you know the Irish pub? Think again. Join us on May 16 for an immersive journey through our historic houses on Lemmon Street to explore the real flavors of Irish and Irish-American pub culture. This isn't a lecture—it's a hands-on look at the affordable staples and clever traditions that turned a survival diet into a global legacy.
Throughout the tour, you’ll step into the lived experience of the 19th-century community. You'll get your hands dirty with the secrets of the domestic hearth, discover the rhythmic pulse of a neighborhood "session," and put your senses to the test against the science of the distiller’s cut. We’re connecting the dots between the historic kitchen and the modern American restaurant trope, showing you why these traditions are still such a staple today.
Dive into the fascinating story of Irish Americans, from the arrival of the first immigrants to their profound impact on modern culture. The Heritage Pages Book Club is the Irish American Museum's newest monthly series, dedicated to exploring the rich and complex tapestry of the Irish American experience through literature, history, and memoir.
This club is a core part of our 250 Programming Series, with each month's selection tied to a unique theme that spans two and a half centuries of history. We will journey together through the colonial days, the great immigration waves, major cultural contributions, and modern Irish American life.
