648 Thames Street (just south of Narragansett Ave), Newport RI 02840

The Museum of Newport Irish History Interpretive Center is open for the 2026 Season, through October 26.&nbsp;&nbsp;Stop in today!
Public hours are 12:00 noon to 5:00 p.m., Thursday through Sunday, through the last Sunday in October (closed Monday–Wednesday).
Visitors to the Center will learn about Irish immigration to Newport 
County from the colonial era to the present, and about the many 
contributions made to our community by individuals of Irish descent.
Interpretive Center exhibits—including maps, models, photographs, and artifacts—are organized around several key aspects of life in the local Irish community.
Our newest exhibit, unveiled in 2025, is an interactive digital display titled “Tracing the Tides.” This experience allows visitors to delve more deeply into the lives of Newport’s Irish immigrants through a rich, multi-layered narrative, illustrated with historic photos and other images—many of which were not previously available to the public.
Visitor Information: •The Center is located on Thames Street, just south of Narragansett Ave. •Free parking is available on the street. •Admission is free for members of the Museum and by donation for others.&nbsp; • If research assistance is required, visitors are advised to make an appointment by writing <a href="mailto:NewportIrishHistory@gmail.com">NewportIrishHistory@gmail.com</a>
Note: Private visits outside of regular hours, including during the off-season, may be arranged with advance notice so we might secure a docent.&nbsp;To inquire, please email:&nbsp;<a href="mailto:NewportIrishHistory@gmail.com" target="_blank">NewportIrishHistory@gmail.com</a> Celebrating 30 Years in 2026 The Museum of Newport Irish History, a volunteer-driven, nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization, was founded in 1996 and now boasts over 900 members. In addition to operating the Interpretive Center, the organization sponsors&nbsp;numerous educational, cultural, social, and fundraising events throughout the year, including the popular <a href="https://newportirishhistory.org/lectures/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Annual Lecture Series</a>, which has just completed its 24th season. The organization also restored and maintains the <a href="https://newportirishhistory.org/historic-cemetery-tours/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">historic Barney Street Cemetery</a> at the corner of Barney and Mt. Vernon Streets, steps from Washington Square. It is the final resting place of many of Newport’s earliest Irish residents. The cemetery was established to support Rhode Island’s first Roman Catholic parish (est. 1828), the forerunner of the current St. Mary’s Church at the corner of Spring Street and Memorial Boulevard.

Does your heart race before a presentation? Do your palms sweat at the thought of addressing a room full of colleagues or speaking at a loved one's wedding? Would you like to tell a story or do improv at an open mic?Public speaking consistently ranks among people's greatest fears. Yet, at some point, we have opportunities, and we want to do well.
Through techniques drawn from actor training, you will learn to shift your focus away from internal anxiety and toward what truly matters: your physical presence, your vocal power, and your ability to tell a compelling story. Acting is not about pretending; it is about being fully present and connected to your audience. These same principles can turn public speaking from a source of dread into an opportunity for genuine connection.
