Also attached to the cottage  is another exhibition dedicated to the United States Army Rangers. They first entered the European Theatre of War in 1942 when the 1st Ranger Battalion was recruited, trained and billetted in Carrickfergus. They saw active service in North Africa and Italy, the majority of the 500 volunteers came from the 34th Infantry Division and of those 500 only 87 survived the war.

Just up the road a short distance on  the opposite side of the road is 'Fool's Haven', a beautiful well kept thatched cottage which dates to the same period as the Andrew Jackson Cottage. On the wall is a blue plaque to Ruddick Millar (1907 - 1952)  Titanic Orphan, Journalist, Author and Playright.

His father Thomas Millar had been employed by Harland and Wolff as a engine fitter and worked on the engines of both the Olympic and Titanic. He then joined the White Star Line and after one voyage aboard the 'Gothard' was assigned to the Titanic as a Deck Engineer.

His wife Jeannie who is buried in Victoria Cemetary, Carrickfergus, died in January of 1912. Thomas decided to go out and settle in New York where he would continue working for the White Star Line and bring the boys out when he had set up  home. While this was happening they boys were taken care of by their Aunt  Maud  at this cottage in Boneybefore.

Before he left he gave each of them (William Ruddick and Thomas) a new penny and told them not to spend them until he came back. Sadly Thomas Millar was lost with the Titanic and his body never recovered. He is remembered on the Titanic Memorial at Belfast City Hall and also on his wife's grave in Carrickfergus. The two pennies he gave to his sons are still with the family.
