Friar's Bush Graveyard | Belfast, NI

A special themed tour of Friar's Bush Ancient Graveyard focusing on the numerous American links within the graveyard.
About this Event

The links between Ireland and the US were established through many centuries of trans-Atlantic migration. Family members from Belfast who died in the US are recorded at Friar’s Bush, with gravestones naming places such as New York & San Francisco.

Meet the ‘Men who built America.’ Hear about the many reasons people left, the tragic stories of some who didn’t make it to the other side, and the remarkable tale of a colourful US-born character who entertained Georgian Belfast.
