Nestled in picturesque countryside, it vividly portrays the journey of millions who departed Ireland for North America during the 18th and 19th centuries.
Start your journey in Rural Ulster, where the sights and sounds of daily Irish life surround you. Wander through genuine thatched cottages, farmsteads, and a bustling street, where costumed interpreters showcase traditional crafts like blacksmithing and open-hearth cooking. Visit the Mellon Homestead, the birthplace of Thomas Mellon, the founder of the Mellon banking dynasty; the park was developed around this original cottage.
Then, step aboard the replica Brig Union emigrant ship to experience the cramped conditions faced during the Atlantic crossing. Conclude your visit in America, where log cabins and frontier homes illustrate how emigrants established new lives and contributed to shaping the nation.
