St. Patrick's Day Tours

The Historic Village at Allaire is a non-profit, living history museum, located within Allaire State Park in Farmingdale, New Jersey. We manage and operate a 40 acre historic site, which includes a museum and multiple buildings from the 1800's. Our historic interpreters and guides provide visitors with a unique look at life inside an industrial village in 1836, and we host over 50 events each year. The Historic Village at Allaire does not receive state funding, and relies on grants, donations, memberships, retail sales, and fundraisers to help support our efforts to provide educational programming to the public.

Celebrate this St. Patrick's Day here at Allaire Village!

James P. Allaire’s Howell Works of 1836 consisted of workers from many ethnic backgrounds, including people from Ireland who likely made up the majority of the population. Migrating down to New Jersey from New York, the Irish workers at the Howell Iron Works primarily served as molders for the furnace operation, but also were blacksmiths, farmers, and other skilled furnace workers. They brought with them their customs and traditions as well as their religion, which was, in some cases, Catholic. One of the most famous Irishmen to have lived in the Howell Iron Works was John Roach. Having started his career at the Howell Iron Works as a common laborer, he eventually went on to build the largest and most productive shipbuilding empire in the United States!Take a 90 minute guided tour of the village and experience the history and culture of Ireland. A period dressed interpreter will escort you to all of our historic buildings and trade shops where villagers are waiting to welcome you and demonstrate traditional Irish cooking, folklore and music!
