I’m thrilled to be joining my friend Travis Shaw and another special guest during the next iteration of Historians on Tap in Columbia, Maryland.

Enjoy an evening of drinks, storytelling, and unforgettable local Irish connections told by historians who know how to keep history lively.
I’ll be sharing stories of the Irish immigrants who labored on the C&O Canal in Maryland amid one of the worst pandemics to strike the United States: the cholera pandemic of 1832.
