The Unstoppable John Morrissey
HARP Museum at the Irish Cultural Center | April 9–30 | Free Admission
John Morrissey (1831–1878), born in Tipperary and raised in Troy, NY, was a bare-knuckle boxing champion, savvy gambler, political powerhouse, and the driving force behind America’s oldest operating horse racing track—Saratoga Race Course. With a tough-as-nails upbringing and a sharp instinct for opportunity, Morrissey rose from dock worker to national notoriety as a prizefighter before reinventing himself as a casino owner and racecourse visionary. In 1863, he organized Saratoga’s first thoroughbred races to entertain the elite before their evening games of chance. The success spurred the creation of the current racetrack the following year. Though never far from scandal, Morrissey used his wits to secure two terms in U.S. Congress and later served in the New York State Senate. He died in Saratoga at just 47—but his legacy remains etched in the city’s very identity.
This exhibit of photo panels and storytelling boards is on display at the HARP Museum, located on the 2nd floor of the Irish Cultural Center. Admission is free and open to the public during regular hours of Five Points Public House. Come raise a glass and discover the legend of John Morrissey—fighter, founder, and unapologetic Irish-American icon.
