We are proud to have our division named for one of the great Irish-American heroes of the American Revolutionary War. To learn more about Commodore John Barry please click the Historical link to the left.
The current re-incarnation of our division is relatively young. We were reincorporated in 1999 although the history of our group goes back much further. In fact the National AOH convention of 1906 was held in Saratoga Springs, NY. We are currently very active in the community, participating in events ranging from food drives to parades, 5K runs to ceremonies honoring our war heroes, and annual Family Festivals in March. To get a flavor of our division's works in the area check out the photos link to the left. You are also invited to look into the Events Calendar (below) which will keep everyone up to date on the latest AOH activities in our area.
We're glad that you stopped by and hope that you are interested in becoming a member here in upstate New York. If you would like to know some more of what the Hibernians are all about, click here.
