The Irish in Connecticut

Written and Performed at the Windham Textile and History Museum in 2017 by Connecticut State Historian Dr. Walter Woodward and the Band of Steady Habits

In May of 2017, Connecticut State Historian Dr. Walter Woodward and his Band of Steady Habits visited the Windham Textile and History Museum (the Mill Museum) for a combination lecture, slide show, and musical performance on “The Irish in Connecticut.” The performance accompanied an exhibit on Irish migration to Willimantic, CT in the 19th century. The exhibit was on display in the Museum’s main exhibit hall throughout 2017. Dr. Woodward graciously permitted the Museum to videotape the presentation.
