County TyroneThis is the home of the world famous Tyrone Crystal. County Tyrone is a rural county with an 'easy going' approach to life. Some amazing countryside here, it looks like picture post card Ireland, and dotted with small villages and towns which appears as if time has stood still for the past 50 or more years. The main tourist attraction in County Tyrone has to be the Ulster American Folk Park which traces the exodus of the Irish leaving for America 
Ulster American Folk ParkThe Ulster American Folk Park is an open-air museum in County Tyrone, Northern Ireland. The museum tells the story of emigration from Ulster to America in the 18th & 19th centuries and provides visitors with a "living history" experience on its outdoor site. Costumed demonstrators go about their everyday tasks in the traditional manner in authentically furnished Old and New World buildings. Find out how to get to the American Folk Park and the opening times The Ship and Dockside Gallery features a full-size reconstruction of an early 19th century sailing ship of the type which carried thousands of emigrants across the Atlantic and a major indoor exhibition "Emigrants" complements the outdoor site. The Centre for Migration Studies can assist those who wish to find out more about emigration history and the way of life of emigrants and settlers

Tyrone CrystalTo own a piece of Tyrone Crystal is like owning a piece Northern
Ireland. It is fragile and delicate, its transparency and ability to reflect
make it almost a living thing. Yet it is tough enough to withstand fire.
When you handle a piece of crystal - so pure, so fragile - one can only but
appreciate the strength, beauty and passion behind its creation. |
