Irish History and Culture in NJ

by Mr. G
(belleville high school)

I have an Irish Lit. class of high school juniors and seniors (25 students) at Belleville High School in Essex County. I would be interested in a local field trip that would expose them to any and all things Irish. Any suggestions???
