Even if you are no stranger to the story of Irish emigrations and you’ve done a morning of museums, don’t miss the Ulster American Folk Park. As you journey from thatched cottages to a full-size emigrant sailing ship, you’re pulled back in time. The costumes are entertaining, the traditional crafts and food to share—rich with symbolic meaning. The freshly baked soda bread and pumpkin, pioneering American foods, invite you to go back in time. Look out also for the agricultural displays and an array of farm animals.
