Boston is often called the capital of Irish America because of its thriving Irish community which dates back to colonial times and continues to the present day.

The Irish Heritage Trail is a self-guided, three mile walking tour that covers 300 years of history as it takes you through Boston's downtown, North End, Beacon Hill and Back Bay.

Learn about famous politicians, artists, matriarchs and war heroes, part of a rich tradition of rebellion, leadership and triumph that personifies the Boston Irish.
