mid-November I made with friends from Enniskillen in time in the Ulster 200 years ago. Near Omagh is a vast open-air museum, known as the Ulster American Folk Park:
Because of the poor conditions of the (mostly Catholic) population and the Foweymoor religious and political disputes in Ulster and throughout Ireland looked in the 18th Century ** ie a century before the great famine many Irishmen ** their luck in the new world: the Kennedys, Clintons, and God knows who else (if in doubt all MCX and O'X name) ** also George Washington, or the contemplative from the Strabane (!!!!) upcoming John Dunlap, who printed the Declaration of Independence, are of Irish descent **.
The museum is very clear and divided into an open-air section and an inner part: Houses from the past centuries, both the "Old world" (Ulster) and the "new world" (America) are copied to detail. The eerie "live, work and" In some houses people in period costume, which we have then explained how people lived before. Wow! Story without reading ;-) But in the inner part of the museum there is sufficient information boards and "traditional" models and exhibits, which I though was not receptive, after I had wandered through the large park. .. :-(
