Irish Tea, Irish Step, and an Irish Tale

Linden Place, 500 Hope Street. Join us for a spot of tea, some Irish soda bread, and an Irish Step Dance demonstration. Then sit back and enjoy master storyteller Dr. Scott Molloy as he shares the tale of rubber magnate Joseph Banigan, who escaped the famine in Ireland to become the first Irish Catholic millionaire of Rhode Island. Learn how his story is intertwined with that of Bristol's Samuel Pomeroy Colt and the United States Rubber Company. Free; space is limited; reservations required.
