Ulster American Folk ParkThe Ulster American Folk Park is an open-air museum that focuses
on the large-scale emigration from Ulster to America in the 18th
and 19th centuries, and is the biggest of its kind in Europe.
Displays illustrate the everyday life of the emigrants through
reconstructed original and replica buildings, a full-size replica
of a sailing ship and daily demonstrations of printing, cooking,
spinning and blacksmithing practices. There is also a fascinating
indoor museum and a dockside gallery. The park also hosts a number
of events, including popular music festivals such as the
Appalachian and Bluegrass Music Festival.
