Andrew Jackson Cottage & US Rangers Museum

Quite an interesting wee place. You have the cottage that American President Andrew Jackson parents lived before emigrating and out back a small museum dedicated to the U.S Rangers.

This was the highlight of our trip to Ireland. To be able to connect my family history. And the Ranger Museum is a great tribute. Well done.

Fantastic experience with some guests here. George (great guy) gives a great insight into Andrew Jackson (former US President) and Ulster/Scotch, Scotch/Irish heritage included is a US Rangers museum the visit is free. Totally recommend, thank you George 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Travelled from Coventry to Belfast with some friends and we decided to visit really pleased we did great little place and also the Rangers museum was great . Well worth the visit

Definitely worth a stop in to see George for a tour. There is some amazing information about the start of the Army Rangers and the President Andrew Jackson and his family and presidential history.

The host/docent was incredibly knowledgeable about Andrew Jackson and his family history. We are from Tennessee, so we're really excited to learn about this connection and so many other historical US figures with toes to the Ulster Scots. A bonus find was the US Ranger Museum, which is in a smaller building out back. Totally worth the stop.

Went on European Heritage Open Day. Greeted by Sean, the site's tour guide, we were emersed in a historical experience that I would have never thought to receive. Sean have us a personal tour of the centre and brought us through its origins and the origins of the US Rangers. Top class experience in such a tiny corner of Ireland. We decided to take the train from Belfast to Carrickfergus and visited the castle. If travelling to the centre, I would advise taking the train to Downshire.

A worthwhile visit, plenty of subject information, all well laid out and a really helpful guide. There is also an American Rangers exhibition.
