The Ulster American Folk Park is an outdoor museum of emigration which tells the story of millions of people who emigrated from these shores throughout the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. The Old World and New World layout of the park illustrates the various aspects of emigrant life on both sides of the Atlantic. Traditional thatched buildings, American log houses and a full-scale replica emigrant ship and dockside gallery help to bring a bygone era back to life. Costumed demonstrators go about their everyday tasks including spinning, open hearth cookery, printing and textiles. The museum also includes an indoor Emigrants Exhibition and a Centre for Migration Studies / library that is accessible to all visitors if they wish to find further information on the history of emigration and the place of their families in it. A full programme of special events is organised throughout the year. Plenty of free on-site parking available.
