Weaving music with stories, singer and songwriter Lee Murdock presents a compelling story of Irish immigrants in Illinois from 7 to 8 p.m. Sunday, March 14, during this presentation of the History Speaks Lecture Series at Naper Settlement’s Century Memorial Chapel. As they came to America to build their new lives in a foreign land, the Irish were also essential in building the canals, railroads, and towns that became Illinois and America. Both traditional ballads and modern historical songs are featured in this illuminating presentation. For all ages, advance tickets are $6/person, $5/student and NHSS member. At the door, tickets are $7/person, $6/student.
