It may have been a rainy day Ulster American Folk Park but it didn't dampen the festive mood! The geese wanted to follow us into the Mellon Homestead but the half door helped to keep them outside!

Researching Drumnahunshin Farmhouse Ulster Folk Museum today. Lovely to hear the donor of the house speaking about her memories of visiting it as a child and her reasons for donating it courtesy of RTÉ Archives. ♥️ rte.ie/archives/2016/…

Men's names may well be above the doors of these premises but it is the women who helped to run them and/or their households that I'll be focusing on at the Womenfolk event Ulster Folk Museum on Saturday 8th March. Catch my tours at 12pm and 2pm!
