Book TicketsThe Ulster American Folk Park opened in 1976 and tells the story of emigration from Ulster to America in the 18th and 19th centuries, using objects and buildings to reflect experiences in both places. We have been working to incorporate marginalised histories into the narrative at the Folk Park. This includes bringing to the fore the stories of Indigenous Peoples, many of whom suffered greatly as a result of colonisation, as well as enslaved Africans who were exploited by some of the Ulster emigrants whose stories we profile.
Every year on 18th December, the world marks International Migrants Day, a day set aside to recognise the important contribution of migrants while highlighting the challenges they face.
