Ulster American Folk Park

Journey back in time at the Ulster American Folk Park and learn the story of Ulster people’s emigration to North America in the 18th and 19th centuries.

Wander the well-trodden pathways and visit traditional farmhouses, as you learn just what life was like in rural Ulster. Step on-board the full-scale emigrant ship, experience what the cramped quarters were like on the dangerous journey to America, and find out how Ulster peoples emigration had a lasting impact through North America.

Don’t miss the traditional craft demonstrations by the talented costumed guides, from wool spinning to willow weaving*. To make the most of your visit we recommend you give yourself between 2 and 3 hours to explore all that the museum has to offer.
