Homes in Focus: The Old Rectory
Description
Discover the Old Rectory with Senior Curator of History, Victoria Millar. Learn about the building's distinguishing features and discover what life was like for those who lived in it in the early 1900s.
Homes in Focus is a series of intimate talks in the Ulster Folk Museum’s beautiful buildings, where they’ll be diving deep into the lives of those who lived in them and the history of these unique homes.
