ハイライト

  • Travel into the pastoral Northern Ireland landscape – and backwards in time – by motorcoach.
  • Spend a couple hours in the recreated world of mid-1800s Ireland and America at Ulster American Folk Park.
  • Tour the houses and shops Irish emigrants were leaving behind, and the ones they would find in America once they arrived.
  • Board a replica sailing ship and get a visceral sense of shipboard conditions during the journey.

説明

Migrate by coach to a 40-acre outdoor museum to experience what the times were like on both sides of the Atlantic during the great Irish emigration to America. A 90-minute scenic drive from Londonderry leads through a tapestry of emerald-green fields and heather-clad mountains to Ulster American Folk Park, a destination where time stopped in the mid-1800s. You’ll be touring this period mini-city where dozens of historical homes stand and recreated period businesses like apothecaries and pubs show how businesses were run and what merchandise was available in Ireland back then. You can board a full-scale replica sailing ship to get a sense of the incredibly cramped conditions passengers endured on their long crossing to America, right down to the sound of creaking timbers. For a vivid picture of the life these Irish emigres were leaving behind, visit a one-room cabin shared by a poor tenant farm family of 12 or tour the grand 18th-century childhood home of someone who became one of Philadelphia’s most prominent merchants. Another section of the venue recreates typical businesses the arriving Irish would frequented when they landed in America, and the types of houses that they might have lived in there.

Helpful Hints

  • Wear layered, weather-appropriate clothing; include a light raincoat or umbrella.
  • Flat, comfortable walking shoes are recommended.

  • This tour includes approximately 1.75 hours of easy-to-moderate walking and standing. There are some steps, but these can be avoided if necessary.

Those with mobility concerns are cautioned to evaluate their personal level of stamina before participating.
