An iconic country church is nestled into the hillside along the Minnesota River southwest of the Twin Cities. Many of the gravestones indicate that the parishioners came from Ireland, and I only found out after the fact that some of my sister-in-law's Irish family worshipped here.

Interesting. I didn't know a lot if Irish ended up in MN. You hear mostly of Scandanavian and German.
News to me too. I am of Irish descent, could in theory get a green passport, but not many people would guess that this is the case. Not something I really push or discuss endlessly.

St. Paul, in particular, has a very strong Irish community. Got some great pubs with lots of good music.
