About Irish American Heritage Museum

The Irish American Heritage Museum is a permanently chartered 501(c)3 non-profit with an educational mission. The Irish American Heritage Museum explores the contributions, history, and culture of Irish people in America; and fosters dialogue and exchange between America and Ireland today.

Through both a permanent collection and a series of changing exhibitions, the Museum displays artifacts, recounts first-person stories, and explores the history of a variety of Irish immigrants and individuals with Irish heritage, from U.S. presidents and cultural icons to nameless soldiers and factory workers. The collection includes artifacts belonging to Irish American organizations, historic costumes, devotional items, and music recordings. The permanent galleries of the Museum include full-size reconstructions of an Irish cottage and a tenement apartment, supported by an Emigrant Support Programme grant from the Department of Foreign Affairs, and a scale model of a workhouse.

Additional Ticket Details & Disclaimers

All regional vendors are subject to an application and investigation process before their presentation for approval by the Board of Trustees of the PEF Membership Benefits Program. Nonetheless, as thorough as this process may be, there is never an assurance. Consequently, the PEF Membership Benefits Program makes no representation as to the quality or competitiveness of the products and services provided by any regional vendor represented on this website. Each PEF member and retiree is responsible for making his/her own decision about the use of regional vendors and should compare prices and services to find the most suitable providers.
