“Rangers lead the way” – visiting the Birthplace of one of the US armies most legendary fighting units – The Ranger museum ( And President Andrew Jacksons Ancestral homestead ) , Boneybefore – NI .

firstly , a huge thankyou to our guide at this excellent local hidden Gem , George made history come to life and I and my son came away feeling like we really learned something valuable about both Andrew Jackson and the US Rangers .

We also learned some fascinating insights into local heritage and culture regarding Ulster Scots settlers and their contribution to many significant global events including the events that led to the formation of the United States of America and more , I am not of Ulster Scots Heritage myself but found this refreshing to learn in such a vibrant way , heres hoping we in NI can continue to learn about each others vibrant history in peace and cooperation , this is a great place to start . If you live in NI and havent visited this hidden Gem , I can highly recommend it . Thanks again George , Ethan loved it and cant wait to get back for another visit.
