Irish Network Colorado harnesses the creativity, industry, and success of Ireland’s diaspora by connecting Irish, Irish Americans, and friends of Ireland
Supporting and empowering Irish community.
Established in 2010, the Irish Network Colorado (INCO), unifies our membership in mind, body, and spirit. We welcome Irish people, people of Irish heritage, and friends of the Irish whether in Colorado, the United States or worldwide.
INCO’s amazing and diverse membership is engaged in cultural events, professional and social networking, educational initiatives, and community service.
Leadville Irish Miners’ Memorial
The Irish Miners’ Memorial located in Leadville’s Evergreen Cemetery is a tribute to Irish fortitude, both then and now. A project of INCO, the Memorial recognizes the nearly 1300 immigrants buried in unmarked, sunken Pauper graves.
Miners’ Memorial Education Resources
Learn about the lives now remembered through the Memorial. Digital education resources include the names and stories of those buried, teacher curricula, and self-explore tours of the Pauper graves.
Donate to the Memorial Fund
Support the legacy created by the Memorial by donating to INCO. Your gift allows us to tell more stories about those in the Pauper graves and maintain the Memorial for future generations.
