Irish American Heritage Museum, History museum in Albany, United States
The Irish American Heritage Museum houses artifacts, photographs, and documents chronicling the Irish experience in the United States through permanent and rotating exhibitions.
The museum started in 1986 through initiatives by the New York State American-Irish Legislators Society and opened its first physical location in East Durham in 1990.
The Paul O'Dwyer Library maintains an archive of books, records, and materials about Irish heritage, including collections from the Ancient Order of Hibernians.
Located at 21 Quackenbush Square in downtown Albany, the museum opens Wednesday through Friday from 11 AM to 4 PM and weekends from noon to 4 PM.
The museum influenced New York State education by securing the inclusion of Irish Famine studies from 1845-1853 in public school curriculum requirements.
