About the Saratoga Hibernians

Welcome to the Internet home of the Commodore John Barry, Saratoga County, Division 1 of the Ancient Order of Hibernians in America.

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 at the top of the page.

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 at the top of the page. 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.
