On
July 26, 1945, a small group of Irish and Irish-Americans
met at the Eire Tavern in Hartford to formulate plans
for an Irish-American Society. John Walsh, Jim Larkin,
John McDermott, Bill Carey, Joe Flynn, and Stanley McDermott
were the founders of the IAH Society. Prior to 1945, there
had been several Irish groups in the Hartford area, some
of which had dissolved due to a lack of a central meeting
place. It was felt that a unified, single group would
best serve the needs of the Irish community. The general
mission of the IAH Society was and continues to be, a
society that welcomes and brings together Irish and Irish-American
families and practices and preserves Irish traditions,
culture, music, and friendship.
The Irish-American Home Society was officially incorporated
in 1945. Our original meeting place was at 700 Park Street,
Hartford, but within a short time the IAH Society moved
to larger quarters within Lyric Hall at 593 Park Street,
Hartford.
In 1955 due to a surge in membership and the need for
larger quarters, the IAH Society purchased property at
69 Grove Street, Hartford, and remained there until our
move to 132 Commerce Street, Glastonbury, in December
1967.
The IAH Society has experienced a rapid growth since its
origin in 1945. The IAH Society has over 2,000 members.
The IAH Society is proud of its indoor & outdoor facilities
in Glastonbury and trusts that it will be a gathering
place for members and their families - young and old,
to spend many enjoyable hours.
It is our desire to serve all our members - old &
new. We believe that the Irish-American Society will continue
to serve as the focal point for newcomers to our shores
to understand and appreciate our American way of life.
We further believe that this society will afford all of
our membership the opportunity to continue their appreciation
and preservation of the Irish culture.
