Welcome to Ireland Indiana

Ireland, Indiana looking east on Main Street in 1914.

The first building on left is the original Alexander Funeral Home. Dr. Glezen's office is next on the left, followed by the IOOF (Odd Fellows Hall). At the end of the street is the Klein Girls Hat Shop. Upper right has the Ireland Ice-Cream Shop in the front and Tom Asbell's Barber Shop in the back. If you look real hard you can see a team of horses coming west towards you on Main Street.

A site for historical information for the towns of Ireland and Portersville Indiana, Boone and Madison Townships in Dubois County, Indiana. This site is dedicated to those early pioneers who came from Scotland, Ireland and Germany to settle this area of America.
