Sylamore Scenic Byway
Ozark Folk Center State Park, AR

Just a short distance away from Mountain View, Arkansas ("Folk music capital of the world"), the Ozark Folk Center is dedicated to the preservation and perpetuation of Ozark mountain folkways. This Arkansas State Park houses an old time craft village where vistors can see 20 or more pioneer crafts and skills demonstrated. A 1,025 seat theater allows vistors the chance to listen to music played as it was in the days before amplifiers and speakers.

Visitors can stroll through the Heritage Herb Garden, or attend workshops where they can learn how to play the autoharp, dulcimer, or fiddle; grow an organic herb garden, or try their hands at pottery, blacksmithing, shuckery, or one of many other pioneer skills.
