Andrew Jackson Centre

Located less than a mile from Carrickfergus town centre, is a traditional thatched Ulster-Scots farmhouse similar to the one that the Jackson Family would once have lived in.  The farmhouse was built sometime in the 1750’s by the Donaldson family and served as a working farm, the last descendent to live here died in 1979, the house was then purchased by Carrickfergus Borough Council.  Having been restore to its original state it has become an exhibition centre, housing an impressive exhibition on the life and career of Andrew Jackson (1767-1845) the 7th President of the United States of America whose parents emigrated from here in 1765.

In the grounds of the cottage is the US Rangers Centre, a museum dedicated to the men of the First Battalion of the elite American Army Unit, the US Rangers that were activated in Carrickfergus in 1942.
