Folk Life and Agriculture
Our domestic life collection holds a variety of items that offer a glimpse into everyday life in 19th and early 20th century Ulster. Cradles, pine kitchen dressers, and spinning wheels were once valuable and much-loved items. Religious and cultural pieces embody the hopes and diversions of ordinary people living through extraordinary times.
