Question 1

Just what is the deal with the Irish American Heritage Museum?!?!?

Accepted Answer

Jaysus, everyone’s asking! All I can say: check it out. AIHM (cool cats call them “IAHM”) books amazing acts - workshops like Sorcha’s, musical performances, informances, lectures … the Flanagan Theater is BRILLIANT!!!  60 seats, (comfy!), great acoustics.  The ED plays piano accordion. Go figure!!

Question 2

Parking . . . What’s up, down there??

Accepted Answer

There is FREE on-street parking along Broadway and Spencer St. weekdays after 5pm and weekends, all day.  Preferred parking (cheapest) is Quackenbush Parking Lot, located behind Quackenbush Square at 45 Montgomery St.  Rates $1 hour/$8 max. NB: paid parking on Montgomery St. NOT the Q-Lot, so $$$$.

Question 3

Your answer to the parking question is a little “lite.” Is there more info you can give??

Accepted Answer

Sorry . . . I am only allowed 300 characters to provide answers. if you want more information, please call the museum at (518) 427-1916.  We have a fulsome memo to email you with more local parking information than you want, just for the asking.

Question 4

Do I have to be of Irish descent to join the museum or attend this event?

Accepted Answer

My brother asked me that question. I called him an eegit. I would never call you that. He deserves that label after the years of sh!te he has put me through. Where were we? In no way/shape/form is there a requirement based upon your descent.  None. Just join. All are welcome to IAHM, YOUR museum.
