Mountain Life Festival in The Great Smoky Mountain National Park

September 19 from 10 am – 4 pm at the Mountain Farm Museum, Great Smoky Mountains National Park Oconaluftee Visitors Center, Cherokee NC. As part of the GSMNP’s 75th Anniversary, this year’s festival will include a special showcase of Appalachian folkways. Tools, farm implements and historic photographs from the Park’s archives and artifact collection will be on display to help pay tribute to the former residents who lived where the Park now stands.  Music will be provided by Marshall Crowe and the Bluegrass Singers. The purpose of the Mountain Life Festival is to share with park visitors some of the traditional fall activities that were an important part of rural life in the southern mountains. The spirit of cooperation that existed among families and neighbors is reflected in this event.
