A visit to EPIC

On Tuesday, I had a 24 hour stopover in Dublin on my way back to the US. My hotel was next door to the EPIC Irish Emigration Museum, so I popped in for a quick visit. The museum tells the story and impact that 10 million emigrants have had on the world after departing Ireland. I've covered before on the blog the story of my own Irish emigrants - John O'Brien and his wife Bridget Dooner. The museum is very interactive and a cool experience for both kids and adults. I didn't have a lot of time there, but perhaps on a future stopover in Dublin I can visit the neighboring Irish Family History Centre.
