WestLaurelHillThe Duffy’s Cut Project is an ongoing investigation into the lives and deaths of 57 Irish immigrants who died building a stretch of Pennsylvania’s railroad (in Malvern, PA) in 1832.

The first bones were discovered in 2009. So far, nine bodies have been uncovered and reburied in a proper grave.

This summer, the Duffy’s Cut team will begin digging at a new site close to where the first bodies were found, hoping to discover what happened to the remaining 48 victims.

The Irish Community is rallying around this cause. We at the Chamber encourage you to help  uncover the rest of this story and lay the ghosts of Duffy’s Cut to rest.
