The walking tour is a fascinating glimpse at Irish life in the 1840's. We will start the tour at the place where the Irish Worked, the B&O railroad yards. A short walk away, we will continue the tour at the Irish Railroad Workers Museum, where you will have the opportunity to explore the narrow alley houses where the Irish workers lived. We will then walk up Poppleton Street to St. Peter's Church, where we will be greeted and be given information on the history of the church. The tour will stop for a quick lunch at the Hollins Street Market or at Patrick's of Pratt Street, a local Irish pub. After lunch, we will wind up our day with a visit to St. Peter's Cemetery.
