For more than two decades, Gaeltacht Minnesota has helped preserve and advance Irish culture in Minnesota (and beyond) by offering free weekly classes in the Irish language, hosting three Irish language workshops per year, and publishing and distributing a quarterly newsletter (An Gaeilgeoir). Gaeltacht Minnesota’s web site is at www.gaelminn.org – check it out for information about current and future classes and events. A fascinating article that chronicles the formation and evolution of Gaeltacht Minnesota, which was originally published in a 1998 edition of Gaeltacht’s newsletter, can be found at www.gaelminn.org/gaelminn.htm.
