Journey back in time

A girl in a green jumper with yellow design on the sleeve and a boy in a blue t-shirt with white long-sleeve top, both with dark hair and their backs to the camera, looking through the window of a cottage exhibit building at the Ulster American Folk Park.

Through emigration, Ulster people have made an impact across North America. Explore rural Ulster and the American frontier as you walk in the footsteps of the bold migrants who set sail for America.

The Ulster American Folk Park tells the story of Ulster people’s emigration to North America in the 18th and 19th centuries. Learn more about lives left behind, the hardships endured on the journey and the pioneering spirit of building new lives in a new land.
