Ulster American Folk Park
The Ulster American Folk Park is situated at the foot of the Sperrin Mountains. This outdoor museum of emigration tells the story of millions of people who emigrated from these shores throughout the 18th and 19th centuries. The Old World and New World layout of the Park illustrates the various aspects of emigrant life on both sides of the Atlantic. There are traditional thatched buildings, American log houses and a full-scale reconstruction of an emigrant ship in the Dockside gallery. Costumed guides and craftsmen go about their everyday tasks including spinning, open hearth cookery, printing and textiles.
