Explore the Beauty & History of Arkansas!
Here you’ll find a people and a setting almost
unique in 21st century America. Nestled in the
Ozarks surrounded by misty blue mountains, the town
of Mountain View holds a rustic beauty in every
season. Clean air and clear streams, streaked limestone bluffs dropping into deeply etched valleys, and
hardwood forests teeming with wildlife provide the
rugged setting for life in Stone County. The Ozark
heritage of self-reliance, ingenuity, and a strong work
ethic, together with the joy of sharing stories, dance,
and song, has survived in this isolated valley.
The Ozark Folk Center is helping to continue that
remarkable heritage through careful documentation of
Ozark lifeways. Apprentice and workshop programs
