A Road Scholar Program by Lee Murdock

Weaving music with stories, Lee Murdock presents a compelling story of Irish immigrants in Illinois. As they came to America to build their new lives in a foreign land, they were also essential hands in building the canals, railroads, and towns that became Illinois and America. Both traditional ballads and modern historical songs are featured in this illuminating presentation.

This event is Free and Open to the public. For more information, please contact Kristen Newton Smith, c/o McHenry County Illinois Genealogical Society, 847.942.7459.
