Have you visited the Ulster History Park and do you consider it to be worth seeing? I am considering a visit to No. Ireland in September. thank you. <BR><BR><BR>

I'm not aware of an Ulster History Park. Where is it? Are you possibly refering to the Ulster-American Folk Park? It's worth a visit if you have time on your hands, or kids along for the ride. But I personally wouldn't make it a high priority.

I was mistaken. I do know what you're talking about. But I think it's the Ulster Folk Park in Bangor, which isn't too far from Belfast. FYI: The Ulster American Folk Park is out in the west of N.Ireland.<BR><BR>But my assessment of the park remains the same: it's okay, and I would go if you're not pressed for time.

Ann, thank you. I got a thorough answer on the irelandyes.com forum along with links to the Ulster American Folk Park and the Ulster History Park, both near Omagh. Since I am very interested in imigration and history I have decided to see them both.

Looks like the only thing I succeeded in was confusing the issue! I'll have to check out the Ulster History Park. My husband grew up in N.I., and he's never heard of it.<BR><BR>I did enjoy the Ulster American Folk Park. One aspect in particular--they have a display of sorts where you enter a ship, with a typical Irish house and surroundings. You walk through the ship and on the other side, you come out in front of a typical New England house. Kind of interesting.<BR><BR>Anyway, enjoy your trip.

thanks Ann, I am looking forward to my trip that will be mostly in Northern Ireland and Donegal. BTW, the link I got for the Ulster History Park is www.omagh.gov.uk/historypark.htm <BR>
