Renewed Interest in Margaret
An Ireland-based Group called the "Margaret of New Orleans Tully Committee" is reconstructing Margaret's Irish birthplace cottage, using original stone. The group is dedicated to raising awareness about Margaret and her life's work. A full-length documentary film about Irish-born American heroine Margaret has been made, Who is Margaret Haughery? And why don't you know who she is?
In 2009 the Leitrim Youth Theatre Company, Carrigallen, Ireland, mounted the first known live-theatre production of Margaret's life story. The stage performance "Our Story of Margaret of New Orleans" featured original music and songs.
The Ogden Museum of Southern Art obtained a Jacques Amans original portrait of Margaret.
