Leadville Irish Miner’s Memorial

Irish Network Colorado has proudly been the project leader for the Leadville Irish Miners' Memorial in Evergreen Cemetery. This outstanding tribute to Irish fortitude, both then and now, recognizes the nearly 1,300 immigrants buried in unmarked, sunken graves in the Catholic Pauper section, most of whom were Irish. INCO would like to thank all the donors, including the Irish Government and Heineman Foundation, for their support. INCO would also like to recognize and thank Project Historian Professor James Walsh, “Liam” centerpiece artist Terry Brennan, Landscape Designers Barnabas Kane and Mark De La Torre, as well as Luke Finken and Kathleen Fitzsimmons for project oversight.
