Dulcimer Day 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM A special program of dulcimer music will be provided by the North Mississippi Dulcimer Association from 10:00 a.m. -1:00 p.m. at the Parkway Visitor Center located at Milepost 266 near Tupelo, Mississippi. The North Mississippi Dulcimer Association strives to teach dulcimer history, tradition, craftsmanship, and music by sharing its knowledge and talents. The Appalachian mountain dulcimer is the first instrument developed in the United States. Dating back to the early 1800s, the dulcimer is an instrument whose very name means "sweet sound." The National Park Service and the North Mississippi Dulcimer Association invite everyone to listen to the soft sweet sounds of the dulcimer and learn of its extensive history. This program is free. For additional information, call 662-680-4027 or 1-800-305-7417.
