Journey back in time and discover the stories of emigration from Ulster to America in the 18th and 19th centuries.

Explore rural Ulster as you walk in the footsteps of bold migrants who set sail for America. Learn about the lives left behind, the hardships endured on the journey and the pioneering spirit that led to new lives in a new land. Wander the pathways of rural Ulster and meet historical characters nestled in welcoming farmhouses. Collect your ticket and board the Brig Union in the Ship & Dockside Gallery. Emerge to discover how Ulster people created a new life on the other side of the Atlantic.

They recommend you give yourself between 2 and 3 hours to explore all the museum has to offer. Don't miss the ‘Bad Bridget’ exhibition which shines a light on the heart-wrenching tales of women who emigrated from 1838 to 1918. They advise visitors to please pre-book tickets in advance of your visit.

Makers café is open from 10-4 pm Tuesday to Sunday. The café offers a wide selection of hot and cold food and refreshments including sandwiches, soup, paninis and wraps. Enjoy buns and sweet treats with a cup of tea or coffee! There are picnic benches throughout the park and an indoor seating area for those who would like to bring a packed lunch.
