We are delighted to offer guided tours of our historic mansion! Explore paintings and documents from the Society’s collections, step back into the Gilded Age, and investigate the legacy of the Irish in New York.

Come visit us at 991 5th Avenue! Discover some of the precious artifacts in our archives on this guided tour of our Beaux-Arts mansion.

The Society has over 10,000 volumes in its libraries, donated over the years by founders and members, including a copy of the earliest Bible published in the Irish language. We have a collection of portraits of a who's who of 19th century Irish patriots, the death mask of Theobald Wolfe Tone, and precious documents relating to the 1916 Rising.

The Irish American Athletic Club donated many of their trophies and other artifacts to the Society, and letters from several Irish American presidents and politicians are on display too.

We currently have a curated exhibition on display, 'Treasures of the Archives', which houses a signed letter from Franklin D. Roosevelt and a first edition Bedell Bible, among other rare items.
