Ozark Folk School
One week every year in March we open the doors to the Ozark Folk School. Here you will learn traditional Ozark crafts, herb gardening and American folk music in the beautiful and relaxed atmosphere of an Ozark spring. The Ozark Folk School offers an experience of a lifetime at a very affordable cost.

Children's Programs
Kids are special at the Folk Center! That's why we have several Children's Programs scheduled throughout the regular season, including Folk Kids, Young Pioneers and Folk Center Day Camp. School groups are also encouraged to visit the Park for a living history lesson that's fun. Contact our Children's Programs Director, Mary Gillihan, for additional information.

The Ozark Folk Center is more than entertainment...it's a truly unique learning experience!
