The Wareham Historical Society will be presenting "Irish Need Not Apply," a lecture on the history of the Irish coming to the United States Monday March 18 at 7 p.m. at the Old Methodist Meeting House located at 495 Main Street.

Presented by writer and historian Christopher Daley, the lecture will address  how the Irish were first brought over as indentured servants in the mid seventeenth century.

The presentation will also explore the pre-potato famine immigration of Irish to the states, and the prejudice the Irish encountered when they came to the U.S among other things.

There will be refreshments afterwards. General admission is $2 and free for Wareham Historical Society members.
