Ulster Folk Museum

Today's rainy road trip was to Cultura and the Ulster Folk Museum. It's an open air museum, just like Colonial Williamsburg with a town and rural area. The buildings were all either actual buildings from around Ulster that had been dismanteled and rebuilt at the museum, copies of actual buildings, or buildings built to resemble those that really did exist. Three churches, a court house, police exhibit, schools, row houses, cottages, farms, pub, doctor, etc... there was tons to see (M, B and I meandered for about six hours). Most of the houses were from the 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries, some were lived in all the way until the 1950s. Lots of photos in the link on the left. Enjoy!
