Images in America: Irish American Heritage Center
In 1976 a small group of Irish Americans was looking for a permanent place to celebrate and share their heritage and culture. After many fundraisers, they purchased an abandoned, graffiti-covered building on the northwest side of Chicago. Since day one a crew of passionate volunteers transformed the derelict structure into a premier institution showcasing dance, music, festivals, language, history, and art. But for the vision of those original dreamers and the blood, sweat, and tears of the thousands of volunteers, it would not exist.
