Ulster American Folk Park
.................................................................................................................................................

The Ulster American Folk Park is an award-winning museum of
emigration and folk life telling the story of the floods of emigrants
who left these shores over three centuries. Exhibits include
“Emigrants” indoor museum. The outdoor museum has over 30
exhibits, mostly original Irish thatched and American log structures.
Sail away to the new world on board the ‘Brig Union’ full-scale replica
emigrant sailing ship. Two complete streets on old and new world
sites. Daily demonstrations include blacksmithing, spinning, printing
and cookery. Costumed guides in exhibit buildings. A great day out!
