Help preserve the history of Irish immigration and the legacy of those who journeyed from Ireland to build new lives in New Jersey and across America.
The Global Irish Famine Way of New Jersey is part of a worldwide initiative to create a historic trail of permanent monuments honoring the millions who suffered during An Gorta Mór (The Great Hunger) and the courageous men, women, and children who crossed the Atlantic to build new lives in America.
Through this project, we are preserving not only history but the personal stories of the families who helped shape New Jersey and our nation.
Whether your ancestors arrived during the Great Hunger or in later generations, your family's story deserves to be remembered.
Nearly two centuries after the Great Hunger, countless stories remain untold. By preserving family histories and creating a permanent memorial, we honor those who endured unimaginable hardship and ensure their legacy continues to inspire future generations.
