Memorial for the 850, was built in honor of the 850 Irish immigrants who died on the island between 1847 and 1850, as they were trying to escape the Great Irish Famine. Here you can see bronze sculptures depicting both the hardships of the famine and the hope of new beginnings in America.

The memorial itself is up on the top of the hill. Also is a viewpoint of Boston.
