Emigration stories across an open-air museum / NEAR OMAGH

Ulster American Folk Park

Follow the story of migration from Ulster to North America through historic buildings, reconstructed settings and interpretation. The museum is outside Omagh, with outdoor journeys between its interiors, so it rewards a substantial visit with suitable footwear rather than a quick town-centre stop.

Before you go

The operator announces America Street closed on 15 and 16 September 2026. Check that notice and the available route before travelling; a museum ticket does not guarantee every historic building is open.
