My uncle and long time friend who recently died John Elliott were able to get Jack Kehoe a pardon for his crimes in the late 70’s by Governor Shapp. My Uncle is one of the best historians to speak to about the Mollys’ along with retired post master of Girardville Thomas Dempsey. If you would like to speak to my uncle in person for an interview or a tour of the Hibernian House feel free to message me and I can see about arranging that for you. The Hibernian House also has rooms available for rent if you need or would like to stay for a visit. It was recently restored back to what the bar was originally like in the late 1800’s. Also known as the land mark where the labor movement rights began for workers in America. We wouldn’t have what we have today if it wasn’t for the men who died at the end of a rope fighting for better working conditions and rights which we all have today. It all began in the small village in Girardville and surrounding areas of Schuykill County.
This establishment is Rich in history. It has the feel of a museum. Very interesting story.
