Pictured Above: Artist Rendition: Entryway to the new museum facility in Fairfield, Connecticut. Ireland's Great Hunger Museum of Fairfield Established in 2022 as a non-profit organization, Ireland’s Great Hunger Museum of Fairfield (IGHMF), Connecticut, is dedicated to the preservation and broader public awareness of the world's most extensive collection of art related to An Gorta Mór, Ireland's Great Hunger. John D. Foley, Kerryman and President of IGHMF, directs this initiative. "It is not just a museum; it is a monument to our history, a tribute to our ancestors, and, most importantly, an educational tool for future generations," stated Mr. Foley, who emigrated from Caragh Lake, County Kerry, in 1995. His efforts are supported by a dedicated team of volunteers, each contributing diverse professional expertise, united by a strong connection to Ireland and a shared commitment to the museum's vision. Previously housed at Quinnipiac University, the collection is being relocated following the closure of the former museum. IGHMF has agreed with Quinnipiac University to transfer the entire collection to a new facility in Fairfield, Connecticut. This facility will undergo renovation to meet contemporary museum standards. This undertaking has received support from state and local government bodies, regional academic institutions, the Consulate General of Ireland in New York, the Gaelic American Club of Fairfield, and the County Leitrim Society of New York, among other notable organizations. The selection of Fairfield as the museum's location is strategically advantageous. New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut were some of the primary destinations for Irish immigrants to the United States during The Great Hunger, a trend that has never ended.
