šŸ“œ Unearthed: Voices of Leadville's Shanty Irish šŸ€

For a meaningful and historical way to honor Irish heritage, visit the Healy House & Dexter Cabin in Leadville to explore the Unearthed: Voices of Leadville's Shanty Irish exhibit. This permanent exhibit tells the story of the Irish immigrant community that settled in Leadville during the late 1800s. Once a small gold camp, Leadville became one of the most important Irish immigrant communities in the United States, with over 3,000 Irish-born residents seeking work in the mines. These immigrants faced stark poverty and discrimination, with nearly two-thirds of the men working underground in dangerous conditions. Despite these challenges, the Leadville Irish formed some of Coloradoā€™s strongest labor unions, fighting for dignity and better working conditions. šŸ’ŖThe exhibit is included with general admission to the Healy House & Dexter Cabin, where you can also explore the beautifully restored 19th-century homes that depict life in Leadville during its mining boom. šŸ”
