The Wilson Ancestral Home belonged to James Wilson, grandfather of Woodrow Wilson, 28th President of the USA and Noble Peace Prize winner. The ancestral home has remained practically the same since James Wilson emigrated to America in 1807. The nearby farmhouse is still occupied by descendants of the Wilson family. The Wilson Ancestral Home provides an opportunity to take a step back in time and enter the world of the "White House." Guided tours during the months of July and August give an insight into the history behind our rich Ulster American connections and how the fate of the 28th presidency of the United States was to lie in the hands of local man James Wilson. Visitors can also sample the ambience of bygone days in front of the traditional hearth fire and in the carefully conserved rooms. Artefacts on display include a wide selection of household furnishings, kitchen utensils and farm implements.
