The Irish Village project was announced by the Michael J Quill Irish Cultural and Sports Centre in March 2001. The project mission is to build an Irish village that recreates exactly how a 19th century Irish Village looked, and teach visitors what happened in the lives of the people that lived there on a regular day. In its entirety, it will be the largest Irish museum in the United States and will welcome all nationalities to come and enjoy Irish traditions.

You may be familiar with East Durham from the many annual events inculding the internationally famous Catskills Irish Arts Week and Memorial Day festivities. We are continuing to bring fine arts and music into the lives of our visitors as we create more beautiful events each year.

We invite you to have a look around this website and see the progress we have made so far. Learn how you could get involved and together we can bring this dream into a nearby reality.

Thanks for visiting and come again soon.
