About
Journey back in time at the Ulster American Folk Park, from Ulster to America.
Wander the well-trodden pathways and traditional farmhouses, learning 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, including the ‘Bad Bridget’ exhibition shining a light on the heart-wrenching tales of women who emigrated from 1838 to 1918.
Visit the Ulster American Folk Park website to browse the fantastic range of exhibitions and events currently on!
*Please note, we cannot guarantee which demonstrations will be on any given day.
