About

Join Liam Corry, Curator of Emigration, for a tour of the Ulster American Folk Park exploring the impact of emigration to North America - not only through the eyes of those who left, but also those who were already there.

On the tour Liam will guide you around the Folk Park drawing out some of the stories connected to buildings. He'll also delve into how Ulster settlers shaped Indigenous lands, lives, and legacies.
