Minuses first - a bit of a drive depending on where you are staying. Pluses_ fun for the whole family, a learning time, and great music if you can stay for the evening show! A new thing located at the same site is LocoRopes - sort of a challenge-yourself type of aerial ropes course, do-able by anyone with a sense... More

But -- there's an element of anachronism that doesn't quite work here. Rather than using a lot of people who really are from Arkansas and who really grew up with the traditional activities, the...

Small buildings are scattered around the grounds, each demonstrating the various skills needed to survive such as blacksmithing, candlemaking, spinning, glass art, pottery, doll making, woodturning, jewelry making, etc. It is always informative and enjoyable to watch craftsmen demonstrate their skills. There is bluegrass music and story telling entertainment. The gift shop sells local artisans works. We spent about 4... More

Went to see Suzzy Boggus, all of the staff were very nice and efficientt. The flowers were beautiful. I think the eating place was called the Iron Skillet and was a good place to eat.
