Homestead Days: Friday, June 25, Miss V Presents at Homestead National Historical Park
Beatrice, Nebraska – Homestead National Historical Park will be hosting family entertainer, Miss V, as a part of our annual Homestead Days event. Miss V will be featured at the Education Center’s outdoor stage on June 25, 2021 at 10:00 AM and 2:00 PM. Miss V offers intriguing glimpses into homesteading culture, history, and lore. Her musical performances include a diverse selection of original ballads with traditional cowboy, country and Americana covers. Compelling lyrics, accompanied by solid rhythms on her guitar and homemade Plank Banjo, define her unique sound.
While caretaking her modern homestead ranch for the past fourteen years, Miss V honed skills such as driving teams, making tack, running pack strings, building banjos, and developing music. Whether she is entertaining Wyoming’s First Lady or playing around the campfire on a remote wagon train, Miss V provides educational family friendly entertainment.
“Miss V’s homespun instruments and homesteading stories entertain people of all ages”, stated Mark Engler, Superintendent.
This event series will be outside and follow CDC and other related guidelines. Each individual performance is dependent on weather conditions. This year’s festivities are limited to the stage series. This event is made possible by the generosity of The Friends of Homestead and The Hevelone Foundation. Admission to Homestead National Historical Park and all events are free.
This event will also be in-person and streaming live on our YouTube channel, https://www.youtube.com/c/HomesteadNationalHistoricalPark/videos.
