The beauty of the area is beyond dispute. In addition. the Irish Wilderness plays an important role in our States heritage and the culture of IrishAmericans. The regions name derives from its earliest settlers. a band of Irish immigrants who came to settle in Missouris countryside and escape the famine that plagued their homeland in the mid19th century.
