Ozark Folk Center
By: adafloyd
The Ozark Folk Center provides a perfect family weekend get-away. There's a lot of fun to be had there. Tap your toes to mountain music. See blacksmithing, pottery-making and over 18 other pioneer skills and crafts. Learn to play the dulcimer or autoharp, to jig dance or to grow an organic herb garden. Browse the gift shop. Sample great cooking at the Skillet Restaurant. The Ozark Folk Center works to preserve and share the Ozark heritage in a fun way. It is located near the town of Mt. View, an equally quaint place.
