Considering Saint Patrick’s Day a widely celebrated festival in March, most of the American Irish are hardly aware of the Irish-American Heritage month happening in March.
Celebrating Irish-American Heritage Month therefore remains a distant thought in spite of the fact that there are more than forty four million Americans who are some way or the other related to Irish ancestors and Irish traditions. Having said that, there are some who are aware and the numbers are growing.
The present US President Obama has recognized March as a month for recognition of Irish-Americans in addition to women’s history, the American Red Cross, reading, colon cancer awareness and consumer protection.

Have you ever visited the Irish American Heritage Center?
WriterArtist, Thank you for practical information, pretty pictures and product lines.
In particular, I like the blessing plate, the books and the Irish firefighter glasses. The Irish American Heritage Center is a great place for cultural exhibits, genealogical research and weekend pub-crawling.
Was the YouTube presentation informative about the Center gift shop and about the Fifth Province Pub's wonderful menu, which has items delicious for all ages and which includes their own mild Irish red ale custom-made by Lake Effect Brewing Company?
I saw the Irish American Heritage Center in Youtube and looks like a lot is happening there.
No I have not. Perhaps in the future.
