Mellon House in the Park, 2004

The Ulster American Folk Park near Omagh in Northern Ireland is a migration and open air museum founded in 1976 . The museum tells the story of three centuries of Irish emigration.

The museum complex is grouped around Mellon House, from which the Irish-American banking family Mellon emerged. On display are the poor living conditions at the time of Irish emigration, the scale replica of an emigrant ship and a number of houses that were moved from America to the park and serve as exhibition rooms.
