Boston is often called the capital of Irish America. It was the destination of over 100,000 Irish fleeing the Great Famine of 1845-1850. The children of the Famine Generation moved forward in Boston, defining their place in its society. Accordingly, the influence of Irish culture is reflected in many of Boston's attractions and institutions.
