Ulster American Folk Park is an open-air museum just outside Omagh in County Tyrone in Northern Ireland. It consists of thirty buildings to visit and tells the story of three centuries of Irish emigration. The museum specifically tells the story of those who left for America leaving the Ulster region in the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries. Inside the museum there are many restored original buildings. The museum is developed in a park around Mellon House, where the Irish-American banker and lawyer Thomas Mellon, founding father of the Mellon bankers dynasty, was born. The museum also includes agricultural exhibits and a range of farm animals. Demonstrations are also held in the museum on the daily tasks and skills of those who lived in the era such as blacksmithing, candle dipping, embroidery, spinning, printing, and open fire cooking. Events and exhibitions that connect to their collections are actively organized. Many international exhibitions have also been hosted here in recent years including Fighting Irishmen from the Irish Arts Center in New York, which showed the influence of Irish emigrants in the sport of boxing, and the British Museum's Warriors of the Plains, which explored the native North American Indians. Special events mark both New and Old World culture, such as United States Independence Day, Halloween, Easter, and of course St. Patrick's Day. The permanent exhibition is called "Emigrants" on the history of emigration from Ireland to America, before visitors embark on their journey around the open-air museum and along the emigrant trail. Free parking is available on site.
