family came first. Period artisans will demonstrate blacksmithing,

woodcarving, tomahawk throwing, hearth cooking and many other

skills. Boonesfield Village includes a collection of nineteenth

century buildings from around Missouri that offer a glimpse into

life in the 1800s Everyone at Pioneer Days is eager to share bits of

history and lore, or share a hands-on experience with anyone who

has an interest.

This pre-1840s Folkways Festival and Encampment with artisans,

music, history and education makes for a glorious day in the

beautiful Femme Osage Valley. Step into the past to experience

program but does offer true stories of experiences that are hard to

explain.
