    1. [COWAN-L] Ulster Folk Park
    2. A few miles from Strabane is the Ulster American Folk Park and we almost did not go because it sounded kind of hokey. What a mistake that would have been. This place is professionally done, it is educational, entertaining and very accurate in every detail. You begin in Ulster in and old house and work your way down tree-lined paths from building to building including a school, church, farm, until you come to a town where you get on the ship which takes you to America where you start in the city and work your way out to the Tennessee/Penn. frontier. All the buildongs are either original and moved to the site or replicas so well done you wouldn't know. The one thing I will never forget is the ship and how little room each family had below deck. One kid gets the measles and its all over. You can have the good old days. I prefer SUV's and dollar gas. Regards, Robert Cowan 21st Century Man
