Tapley Memorial Hall

Among the ethnic communities that migrated to America in the eighteenth century, the Scots Irish are perhaps the most important for understanding this country’s fairy folklore. Hailing from parts of the British Isles where ideas about fairies remained very much alive, these immigrants settled in locations as far apart as New Hampshire and North Carolina.
Join Andrew Warburton as he explores the extent to which the Scots Irish brought fairy folklore to the United States—through their stories, their “magical” practices, and their ballads.
