This is a beautiful, interactive memorial is designed to raise public awareness of the events that led to the potatoe famine of 1845-52. Many Irish emigrated to America, where their profound influence on the social and cultural landscape continues to this day. This lovely monument evokes the fields of Ireland. If you are in the area...find it and experience the haunting Irish music and rolling farmlands amidst the skyscrapers of New York! Free.
