EXPLORE IRISH SAVANNAH in the 1800s during the potato famine and the Irish diaspora to Savannah. See where Irish longshoremen and "iron men" lived and worked.  Hear about Irish seamstresses and servants, their struggles and triumphs, while we explore the neighborhoods where they lived and labored. Learn about Savannah's Irish priests and the sisters who aided the poor and helped to keep alive the flame of Irish culture in Savannah. Hear the stories from today's Irish men and women in Savannah -- stories that range from the mysterious to the  hilarious.  Walk Savannah's Irish pathways.

Embark on an unforgettable walk through the historic Old Fort district in the oldest part of Savannah. Starting at the Celtic Cross in Irish (Emmet) Park, your tour guide, Fiddler Chase, leads you through 300 years of the Celtic Savannah Experience. Travel to 1734 as you overlook the Savannah River, when a storm-battered ship carrying 40 starving Irish servants arrives at Savannah.  Hear what happens when Georgia founder, James Oglethorpe, breaks with the Georgia charter to allow Catholics into Savannah.
