Traditional Craft & Skills Demonstrations
Fiddlemaking, a traditional art. National Park Service
As of this time, Heritage Day, Alley Spring Independence Day Celebration, Ozark Dinner Theater, and Haunting in the Hills events are cancelled. Please watch this page for future details or changes. 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. 
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.
