About the event

The Irish Famine Immigrants of Connecticut
This presentation reveals the often-overlooked stories of the Irish men, women, and children who fled An Gorta Mór and established new roots in Connecticut. Drawing on archival records, burial sites, and community memory, Loretto Horrigan Leary traces how Famine survivors helped build the social, cultural, and economic foundations of towns across the state. Through vivid storytelling and historical insight, this presentation examines the resilience of these early immigrants, the hardships they brought with them, and the enduring impact they had on Connecticut’s identity.
