Ulster Folk and Transport Museum

This wonderful museum is about 10 miles from Belfast.
The folk museum is centered around a reconstructed small town, with many of the buildings dismantled from their original locations, and reconstructed exactly as they were here in the museum. Some are replicas - mainly where the original building is still in use.
