Ozark National Scenic Riverways
Traditional Craft & Skills Demonstrations
Making fiddles by hand

National Park Service

Fiddlemaking, a traditional art.

The park will host a variety of fun and educational events that bring back the voices of the Ozarks frontier. Enjoy demonstrations of traditional skills, nibble some hoe cake, listen to down home Bluegrass music or learn to spin or make lye soap. Watch this site for details.

 
Basketmaking
All the things we take for granted: soap, baskets, rugs, clothes, tools, once had to be made by hand. Come on down to Alley and get up close and personal with the past.
