Welcome to Ireland Indiana

Ireland, Indiana looking east on Main Street in 1914.

The first building on left is the original Alexander Funeral Home. Dr. Glezen's office is next on the left, followed by the IOOF (Odd Fellows Hall). At the end of the street is the Klein Girls Hat Shop. Upper right has the Ireland Ice-Cream Shop. If you look real hard you can see a team of horses coming west towards you on Main Street.

A site for historical information for the towns of Ireland and Portersville Indiana, Boone and Madison Townships in Dubois County, Indiana. This site is dedicated to those early pioneers who came from Scotland, Ireland and Germany to settle this area of America.

On May 7, 2009 the Ireland, Indiana St. Patrick's Parade was again initialized. There will be a St. Patrick's Day weekend parade surrounded by other events. The parade and "other events" will all be part of the "Spud Fest" or "Potato Fest". Which name do you prefer? Spuds was the name of the beloved Ireland High School basketball team, "Ireland Spuds", from 1915 until consolidation in 1970. Watch this site for coming announcements on the parade and fest.
