Summoned by the call of the copper mines in Butte; Montana; Irish immigrants left a struggling Ireland at the beginning of the 20th century in search of a better life. Around the mines peppering the hills of the mining city; these determined sons and daughters of Eire built strong Irish neighborhoods that engendered the best of Irish culture and influence. Faith; family; a strong work ethic; and a sense of humor would see these immigrants through the decades. Celebrations like St. Patricks Day and An Ri Ra; Irish language workshops; and a new generation of Irish artisans acknowledge the contributions of this influential group.
