| - The Ulster American Folk Park is an open-air museum in Castletown, just outside Omagh, in County Tyrone, Northern Ireland. The Park explores the historical link between Ulster and America, focusing particularly on the lifestyle and experiences of those immigrants who sailed from Ulster to America in the 18th and 19th centuries. It is one of the four museums included in National Museums Northern Ireland grouping. Contained within the park are around thirty buildings — some recreations, some painstakingly-restored originals. There are agricultural displays and animals on site, and visitors are offered samples of various local foods such as smoked salmon and bread, freshly cooked in the cottages that line the route of Park tours. The park includes Mellon House, the birthplace of Irish-American banker and lawyer Thomas Mellon. The house and outbuildings remain in their original location. The park is open throughout the year, excluding some public holidays.
