If you're cruising down the Natchez Trace Parkway this weekend, stop by the visitor center near Tupelo, Mississippi, to take in Dulcimer Days.
This special program of dulcimer music will be provided by the North Mississippi Dulcimer Association from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturday at the Parkway Visitor Center located at milepost 266 near Tupelo.
The North Mississippi Dulcimer Association teaches dulcimer history, tradition, craftsmanship, and music by sharing its knowledge and talents. The Appalachian mountain dulcimer is the first instrument developed in the United States.
Dating back to the early 1800s, the dulcimer is an instrument whose very name means "sweet sound."
During this program you'll learn both about the origins of the dulcimer, and be treated to its soft, sweet sounds.
This program is free. For additional information, call 662-680-4027 or 1-800-305-7417.
