  • The Irish Potato Famine
  • In preparation for St. Patrick's Day, learn about another significant time in Irish history -- the Irish Potato Famine, sometimes called "the Great Hunger." No one knows precisely how many people died in Ireland during those years, but in a population of more than 8 million people, the death count reached over 1 million and another 1.5 to 2 million emigrated. By 1891, the population of Ireland was at 4 million. Come and learn about why, what was involved, and what effect this has on today, in this fascinating presentation by Dr. Hebert from Thomas More College. Also hear about the effort in NKY to create a memorial to this moment in history. Space is limited and registration is requested.
