Follow in the footsteps of the brave emigrants who set sail for America in the 18th and 19th centuries and embark on a journey back in time from Ulster to the American frontier. Your favourite stories and objects are waiting for you with a world to excite your inner explorer.

Wander the well-trodden pathways of rural Ulster, complete with a bustling street and welcoming farmhouses. Board a full-scale emigrant ship and experience the cramped quarters where hundreds of people lived during their twelve-week Atlantic crossing. Emerge in America and marvel at the ingenious solutions these resourceful newcomers created on the frontier. Experience demonstrations of traditional crafts daily by our costumed guides. 

We’re currently in the process of changing our catering offering at the Ulster American Folk Park, which means we'll be running a temporary offering for a little while. The café area and indoor seating is open for those of you who want to enjoy a cuppa or bring a packed lunch. Plus, there are also plenty of picnic benches scattered throughout the park for those brave enough to picnic outside! Alternatively, you can enjoy some local food at the Mellon Country Inn, just a few minutes drive away.
