Irish American Heritage Museum

The Irish American Heritage Museum (IAHM) is a 501(c)3 non-profit corporation created by the New York State legislature in 1986. IAHM is an educational institution which provides critical services to its membership, local school districts, educational institutions, and others - including underrepresented and disadvantaged communities - in both New York State and across the world. IAHM supports Ireland’s diaspora and creates connections and community among all Americans in the appreciation and study of the universality of the immigrant story in America. The museum is becoming known for its 60-seat performance space, The Flanagan Theater, named after prominent Irish immigrant musician Michael Flanagan. World-class Irish musicians perform in the theater, and other offerings workshops presentations, lectures, and literature readings. Located at 21 Quackenbush Square in Albany, the museum can be reached at irish-us.org or 518. 427.1916.
